Feb 9, 2008 A good RIS other than it was berift of a head and was a bit sour. That sourness I have had before and was integrated into the taste experience, hardly noticeable later in the bottle as roasted barley and chocolate ruled. However it could also be indicative of some infection. Good mouthfeel, and damn drinkable.

Dec 12, 2007 Bottle from 46er3498. Black with milk chocolate head. Wonderful aroma of deep roasted malt coffee, and bitter hops. The taste was the same with bitter finish. Not bad but I like my Imperial stouts with a little bit more sweetness. Thanks, Tom.

Dec 6, 2007 Absolutely incredible. One of the best beers that I’ve ever had, anywhere. All of McNeills brews are great but this is the one that prompts me to drive the 3 1/2 hours to Brattleboro from Rhode Island a few times every winter. Get some!
