I did a progressive BG tasting with Breakfast, Brunch 0ne-for-One and Brunch Weasel. Weasel was the clear winner, but one-for-one was a close second. It pours black with tan head. Has a good mix of coffee, chocolate and smoke. Overall a bit more liiquirice flavour and acidic compared to the smoother weasel. Oakes (8101), gone rambling, Cambodia
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 4, 2009 Pretty much pitch. Very dark brown. Rich, intense - chocolate, nuts, and burly sweetness. Very thick malts, almost to the point of soy sauce. It’s well done, but crazy sweet. There’s a hint of acidity late. daknole (2973), Plantation, Florida, USA

Thin brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, burned sugar and some raisiny notes. Flavor is chocolate, some sweetness, light hops and roasted malt. Damn good.

Aroma of rich dark chocolate and doughy malts with some raisin and brown sugar complexity. Body starts with a rich sugary dark chocolate sweetness along with some smoke, plums and coffee with a good amount of warming alcohol toward the finish. A pretty nice imperial stout. yumyum (124), barrie, Ontario, Canada

This one had the most prominent aroma. Pours jet black with roasty coffee aroma. Good flavour of dark roasted coffee. Nice thick mouth feel.. One of my faves. Avengedpoet (325), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Big thanks to Footy for bringing two of these to the tasting. Pours jet black with a very thin tan head. Aroma is of super thick espresso and a deep, complex roastiness. Taste is of very clean roast and coffee.Rather light, crisp, and clean for an imperial stout. Very tasty and impressive. Quite drinkable and enjoyable. A shame that so little was made. ajm (945), Los Angeles, California, USA

Reminded me a lot of a Struise beer for the full, resinous hop profile that props up the flavor. Bitter coffee roasted massively. Smooth with great balance. Shockingly simple. I prefer the Weez. argo0 (6939), Washington DC, USA
