May 8, 2009 HH’s BEER TASTING: One of the best of the night. Deep black pour. Espresso, burnt toast, and dark chocolate for aroma. Flavor is very much the same. Full bodied and good. Alcohol sneeks on you. I like this stuff!

Apr 23, 2009 Bottle shared with MP at his apt prior to one killer game of Strat. Black pour with good brown head. Caramel, coffee, and chocolate, almost some oakey bourbon notes. Medium full creamy body with dry semi-bitter finish. Alcohol was fairly well masked though.

Apr 5, 2009 Nice creamy brown head, Very strong but the flavors of cocoa mask the high ABV nicely. ranks up there with other fine imperial stouts.

Mar 29, 2009 22oz served into snifter. Pour is pitch black with a thick brown head. Aromas of roasted malts, slight coffee, and coco. Flavor is very roasty and full. Nice chocolate in the finish also. The 10% abv is not present at all which could make this one dangerous. This is a great bargan at $4.99.

Mar 29, 2009 22 oz bomber. Very dark black beer with a thick creamy dark brown head. The aroma is really lovely. Rich dark cocoa nose, chewy raisins and a touch of salty roastiness. There is a toasted wheat malt component and a heavy bittersweet chocolate flavour. The flavour is quite intense. Very heavy and chewy. Loads of hop bitterness on the back. Warming brings up a bit of vanilla and a soft leafy chewy bitterness. Pretty solid imperial stout.
