Thick black pour. Rocky brown lasting head. Chocolate, brandy, coffee and some hops in the aroma. A great complex beer. Smooth chocolate flavors with some noticable alcohol. Taste sticks with you.

12 oz bottle: pours jet black with a tan head. the aroma is mostly of dark friuts and chocolate, with hints of coffee and caramel. the flavor is of sweet malt, coffee, chocolate, dates, and aa seemingly neutral hop bitterness that lingers with the coffee flavor. the hidden yet notciable alcohol. i forgot how great this beer was.

Your usual roasted coffee, chocolate flavours but there’s an interesting fruityness thrown in there and overall there are subtle nuances of other flavours, it has quite a bit of complexity for a stout. Very full body, bursting with flavour, one of the best stouts I’ve had.

Bottle - 12 oz. Opaque black body topped with a thick and lasting brown pillowy head. Gorgeous and intense malty aroma with roasty, chocolate and dark berries notes. Taste is bit less complex than the aroma. However, it is more than enjoyable. It hides the alcohol perfectly, carries plummy hints, and leaves a long and sharp bitter/roasty aftertaste. This is very close to my idea of a perfect Imperial Stout, and it is definitely not for lagerboys... ;-)

This beer looks great pouring into the glass, with it's dark chocolate color and rootbeer-float-like head. The taste has a great nutty kick with a really interesting bitter finish. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. This beer is a delight! By the way, the high alcohol content packs a punch of it's own!

Beautiful deep black pour with a small tan head. Rich chocolate and toasty flavor with a sweet alcohol taste thrown in. Bitter at the finish, but that is easily remedied by taking another sip. ABV more noticed as it warms, in a good way.

Excellent Imperial Stout. Pours a beautiful black with a brown head. Nice sniffable malty aroma. Taste is of dark chocolate, dark fruit, coffee, roasted malt and generous hops. Not that sweet. Mouthfeel is very full, round and creamy. Leaves a nice burnt aftertaste. Highly recommended!
