Dec 16, 2005 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, blankboy, GregClow, and Jerc; courtesy of Harry. Crisp roast aroma, lots of chocolate malt, sweet and inviting - mild hint of chocolate as well - no alcohol. Really thick and creamy mouthfeel - wow, without even tasting it, that mouthfeel is incredible. Lots of creamy chocolate and coffee in taste - a perfect silky imperial stout. No hint of alcohol. Comes come in at the end after a few sips and are complimentary and balanced. An excellent example of this style, one of the best I have had. And a beer that uses an irish type name and doesn’t suck - far from it - that gets bonus points in my books!

Dec 16, 2005 Dark brown - black body with a moderate khaki head. (3+) Muted roast and mild dark chocolate undercurrents in the aroma. Flavour has more prominent bitterness than expected, lots of malt witha touch of chocolate. Alcohol is invisible. Quite nice, but I didn’t find the complexity that my compatriots did.

Dec 15, 2005 Updated: Dec 20, 2005Bottle (650ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow, jerc, tupalev - courtesy of yours truly. Poured opaque black with a large lasting light brown pancake batter head. Aroma deep almost burnt chocolate malt, plenty of hops some tart current juice and a hint of cream. Taste is very mellow - rich coffee with a touch of dark chocolate - hops and bitterness builds as it warms, actually tastes creamy - mouthfeel solid body, very creamy, long linger, fairly balanced - solid Imperial Stout - 10%? No way!
