May 25, 2008 Bottle via SS. Dark color. Smell of coffee, malt, alcohol, smoke, hops and sugar. Taste of roasted coffee, malt, hops, caramel, alcohol, and some fruit. I think this is too over rated.

May 21, 2008 Poured a pitch black color with almost no head. Aroma is of strong coffee and wine. Flavor is also very strong coffee flavor but with a nice bitter dryness which is also a bit fruity. The alcohol is extremely well hidden in this great beer.

May 16, 2008 I have this puppy sitting in my cellar for 6 months and still haven’t dug into it. Well celebration time, college graduation is tomorrow morning. Pours a murky dark brown color with an easily aggravated large brown head. Nose of dark fruits, roasted malts, chocolate, alcohol is definitely apparent with touch of coffee. Initial taste of chocolate, alcohol, dark fruits and coffee. Mid palate emphasizes the roasted malts. Finishing with mild hop balance, chocolate, smokiness is also touched upon briefly. Palate duration is above average, slight dry. Good head retention and lacing of the glass. Mouthfeel was very thin for me and oily texture. Alcohol is definitely impressive with stronger hints on the nose and touches in the beggining, otherwise well balanced for sure. This is probably the easiest drinking imperial stout, especially 13.1% I have ever had. I would consider this to be my party beer since I look for full body in my imperials.

May 16, 2008 Sahred bottle. Pours a basically black color with a thin tan head. Aroma is mostly roasted malts, some chocolate and coffee. Flavor is very similar, with some smokiness and licorice mixed in. For me, this one is a little too hot for me to really enjoy.
