Jul 23, 2007 Picked up single 12-oz bottle at John’s Market Place in Portland, Oregon. Pours an opaque near motor oil black colored brew with a decent tan head that slowly dissolves to a film and tan ring. Aroma of dark chocolate, toasted dark malt, some molasses, toffee and a touch of coffee. Taste is full bodied, thick, chewy with hardy any carbonation with toasted dark malt, chocolate and a touch of flowery bitter hops. Finish is smooth, creamy with a dark chocolate aftertaste. That was one heavy stout.

Jul 23, 2007 A simple but pleasant stout with all of the usual characteristics. The Aroma has chocolate and malt, and the flavor has these as well as coffee. A fairly thick and heavy beer with a better than average palate, and it is very smooth.

Jul 22, 2007 Bottle. 12 fl. oz. Pours a very dark brown, almost black color with small, light brown head. Very much resembles cola. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. Full bodied with a dry texture. Wonderful, sweet chocolate flavor with a nice amount of roasted bitterness at the end. Not very strong, but a tasty stout nonetheless.

Jul 20, 2007 Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Very dark black, with a quickely fleeting tan head. Nice bitterweet chocolate, coffee, menthol, sweet salted meats, and a light smokiness. Light almost watery mouthfeel, with a nice salted meat character, and tart oaky acidity.

Jul 9, 2007 Pours black with short head that turns into a ring of tan bubbles. Coffee, semi-sweet chocolate and roasted malt in the nose. Same is mirrored in the taste, but with more toffee, molasses, and sweet cream. An excellent subdued stout.

Jun 25, 2007 Bottle. The aroma(s) is(are) chocolate, dark roasted malt, and coffee. The color is (even under halogen) opaque brown/black. Hardly any hilites. The tan head left quickly, but tilting the snifter reveals pinpoint lacing. Full bodied, moderate carbonation, and it turns creamy as the carbonation leaves. The flavor is dark, near tarry, roasted malt, and suggestive of espresso that’s a bit too long in the cup. That’s not a bad thing, just really strong flavor. The finish is bitter chocolate, burnt malt, and something that stings the tongue. It does mellow into something resembling the original Guinness. Quite the experience. If there is an imperial stout category based on flavor, rather than alcohol, this has to be in it. Breakfast? What a great idea.

Jun 22, 2007 Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, molasses, and some sweet malts. Thick on the palate with strong coffee tones up front. Flavors of chocolate, roasted malts, and molasses underneath. A pretty decent stout but could use a little more alcohol.
