Feb 22, 2009 Updated: Nov 9, 2009Bottle from Knightly spirits. Black pour with a really nice brown head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, coffee and some faint hints of dark dried fruits. Flavor hits with more coffee than I would have expected and has plenty of chocolate. This is a stellar beer. Glad I have another to savor.

Feb 19, 2009 Pours black with a thick mocha head. Nose bursting of sweet chocolate malt and coffee. Amazing thick, rich taste with nice faint hop finish and some alcohol. Alcohol is hidden very well in this imperial stout.

Feb 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown/black color with a foamy beige head. Nose is roasty, choclate, cocoa, with some very mild dark fruits. Head laces well. Palate is full and silky, but leaves a biting on the tongue and throat. a very light hint of alcohol in the nose. Flavor is solid chocolate with some light coffee, roasted malts, and deep raisiny notes.

Feb 18, 2009 12.7 oz. bottle - Poured dark brown almost black with tan head.
Aroma - coffee, chocolate and vanilla.
Flavor - Has this Hershies syrup mixed with coffee taste. Alcohol taste is evident at finish leaving slight burn in back of throat.
Palate - Thick chocolatey syrup feel with below average carbonation. Finish is slightly bitter with coffee and chocolate aftertaste.
Overall - Pretty good Stout but could be better for high $$$. Chocolate syrup taste is overdone.

Feb 18, 2009 Updated: Mar 20, 2009Fantastic imperial stout. Roasted aromas of malt and coffee, blended with a lot of fresh hops, i’d say its cascade. This repeats itself in the palate, which unlike many imps is not sweet and cloying but just right and jam packed with flavour.

Feb 16, 2009 Bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. The beer was quite impressive. Tasted of roasted malts and coffee. Very smooth on the way down. The 13% ABV is hidden quite well. Will have to try again.
