Nov 17, 2009 (bottle - 330 ml) Dark black pour with a thin tan head. Aroma is sweet and very roasty at the beginning with a large amount of molasses and sweetly roasted malts. Lots of chocolate and roasted malt at the beginning with a mild roasty middle with hints of coffee and cocoa. Light bitter and surprisingly clean finish.

Nov 16, 2009 Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of toasted, molasses, dark chocolate and strong coffee, moderate resin for the hops and earth for the yeast. Head is average size, creamy/frothy with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is black. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is medium to full, creamy/syrupy and has a lively carbonation and a dry finish. The moderate hop profile balances well with the heavy malts in this Imperial Stout.

Oct 28, 2009 Pours black with nice brown head. Aromel is of roasted malt and yeast. Flavor is more balanced with notes of roasted coffee. Palate is smooth with a slight hoppy bitterness on the end. Enjoyable, but not great. At 7% ABV, not really Imperial either.

Flavor has little acidic coffee beans, licorice drops, burned malts. Medium bodied, slightly bulky metallic palate. Luckily some of the off-putting metal fades when warmer. Utterly simple strong stout.

Oct 23, 2009 Compact tan head over a brown-black beer. Firm coffee aroma with elements of bananas, dark chocolate and a scruffy, woolly presence. Moderately sweet with an overall impression of dryness via roasted bitterness and coffeelike acidity. Slightly savory as well. Taste and aroma combine to make the flavor overwhelmingly of coffee. Medium-full bodied with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Quite unidirectional, though mostly pleasant in what it does. A moderate amount of fusel alcohols arrive as the beer warms. Simple, average. 33 cl bottle, bottled in September 2009.
