Draught, Pensacola
Close to black with a thin head. Chewy molasses and dark fruit aroma. Soft, creamy, with lots of vanilla and coconut sweetness. Only slightly fruity. The alcohol shows only in a slight, late dryness.

Black with tan head. Not pitch black but close. Strong fruity aroma includes raspberry. High gravity feel in the body. Some chalkiness in the aftertaste. Lots of vanilla in the flavors. Nice.

Draft in Pensacola. Pour is this and black and served with no head. An aggressive swirl did not create much head either. The overwhelming character here is chocolate syrup with some Quik stired into it. Very oily with a bit of grit. Sticky. Not bad. Actually, better than I expected.

Draught into pint glass in Destin. Dark brown pour with a medium tan head. Aroma was bittersweet chocolate and some fruit. Flavour was faint cherries and more chocolate. Nice stout.

On tap at the 2007 GABF: Pours a transparent dark amber mahogany with a thin ring of tan head. Aroma of some piny, earthy hops, dark chocolate and caramel malt. Body is fairly sweet and full with some big bittering earthy hops and warming alcohol toward the finish. An ok imperial stout, but could be a little darker, roastier and more complex.

GABF 2007: Poured a very dark clear brown color with a tan head. The aroma was full of chocolate and roasted malt. Semi-sweet with a touch of licorice. The flavor was of roasted malt and caramel. Hints of chocolate. Semi-dry with a medium body.
