Oct 7, 2008 I really enjoyed this imperial stout - it offers up a lot of flavors and seemed to reveal more and more with each sip and as it warmed up.
It pours black, with a pretty decently sized head for this style (their heads are usually pretty minimal). Aroma was not great...really just dry roastiness with some coffee notes. However, flavor revealed quite a bit more - coffee, a touch of sour sweetness, "burned pizza crust," and lots of chocolate notes. Mouthfeel was great - dry, smooth, but not overly sticky...still pretty clean.
A top notch beer. I bought this bottle at Discount Liquor.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours a black ruby. Not much to the nose, just a bit of malt. Very malty flavors with mild tobacco flavors and small hints of chocolate. Lots of smoke flavors. A very long dry finish. Real good beer.

Sep 21, 2008 22 oz. bottle, pours an opaque, dark brown body with a short-lasting brown head. Aroma of sweet roasted malts, cocoa, and a hint of coffee. Fairly smooth mouthfeel with a light fizziness. Medium to heavy body. Flavors of roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate with a light smoke tone. Bitter cocoa and roasted malt finish. Solid, but not as complex as some of the top imperial stouts.
