May 2, 2008 Bottle and label says 9.3% ABV. Very small smooth tan head that mostly lasted, very little lacing and carbonation, and a dark brown hue. Nose was that of toffee, malt, molasses, and some hops. Flavor was malt, toffee, lightly roasty, and some molasses. Mouthfeel was mostly smooth and lightly tingly. Body was medium. Quaffable, but not super impressed with their version of this style.

Jan 7, 2008 Bottle says 9.2%. I definitely question that, it tastes like it is 6% tops. Pours dark brown, thin off white head and one ring of lace around the top of the glass. Prune, & fudge on the nose. Thin mouth-feel a rather bland/ thin RIS. Hints of coffee and chocolate.

Mar 19, 2006 Muddy dark brown. Chocolatey, fudgey aroma. Fruity-tart body with roast and light smoke. A little bit of burnt fruit in there as well. Light bodied and easy-going for the style.

Jan 27, 2006 draft. Burnt sugar and molases aroma. Dark with redish hues and a weak white head. Burnt coffee flavor, medium bodied with a watery finish, and high carbonation. Served extremly cold. Not really very flavorful, too much carbonation.

Jan 1, 2006 On tap. Dark brown with the slightest bit of whispy foam. Some molasses, burnt sugar, and rummy notes. English toffee, prunes, semi sweet chocolate, and lingering alcohol. Water thin and boring. Overall very underwhelming.

Dec 21, 2005 Updated: Oct 28, 2006Tap. Dark molasses, coffee and alcohol aroma. Dark brown-black color with small head. Initially a slightly sweet prune flavor followed by mocha/coffee, hops and finally a tingling alcohol burn to finish. Smooth and well blended - just not be strong enough for some. I liked the fact that it didn’t have as strong of an alcohol flavor as others in the style I’ve tried.

Dec 21, 2004 Sampled from a growler courtesy of BBB63: Pours a very dark brown, nearly opaque, with a thin off-white head. Mild sweet caramel malt and milk chocolate aroma. Body has a nice malty sweetness and dry earthy finish with a sweet mocha roastiness. A nice imperial stout, but needs a little more balance and complexity. Thanks Mike for sharing the growler!
