Sep 17, 2005 Sonoma wine Exchange, Sonoma, Ca. - 22 oz bomber. Enjoyed this while looking out my hotel’s 17th story window overlooking downton San Francisco. Dark brown to black pour, slightly thin - can see the light through it. Medium thick mocha colored pour. Aroma has a slight touch of soy sacue with some underlying coffee. Flavor is bittersweet chocolate, day old coffee with some licorice to sweeten it up. Mouthfeel is decently thick, not really creamy though. Very decent Imperial Stout.

Sep 16, 2005 Translucent, dark burgundy body with an ample, uniform, slowly-receding tan head. Aroma is a bit hot but includes dark bittersweet chocolate, blackberries, rum raisin, and caramel. Flavor has notes of tobacco, anise, chocolate, black coffee, and some sherry character from light oxidation. Medium-high sweetness balanced by spicy alcohol and medium bitterness. Not overly dextrinous, but good texture and some lively carbonation on the tongue. A nice, distinct impy. Latent thanks to TannerTavernboys.

Sep 12, 2005 22 oz. bottle. The head on this dark dark brown pour was so small, that I wasn’t sure if it was even carbonated. The second pour I got a little more wild and made myself some foam. Wonderful chocolate coffee aromas. Molassas and toffee all the way through. Flavors were choloclate malt and coffee with just a touch of aclohol that was otherwise pretty well masked. Roasty and a slightly heated finish. Nice brew.
