Nov 30, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of coffe, oil and roasted barley. Appearance - near black, with a small head that quickly subsides. Flavour is what you would expect from a porter - roasted with rich dried fruit notes. Palate is utterly silky and wonderful. A very nice porter.

Nov 28, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark black color with a dark tan colored head on top. Aroma is dark fruits, chocolate covered cherries, caramel, brown sugar, and fresh roasted coffee. Flavor is a nice mixture of dark chocolate covered fruit and coffee. Bittersweet is a nice description of the flavor and palate of the beer. Not overbearing on either side. A very full-bodied beer but one of the most well-balanced ones out there.

Nov 27, 2007 This beer is more full and complex than a lot of imperial stouts claim to be. Pours a very dark brown almost black with a nice frothy beige head that quickly dissipates into a nice lacing that lasts. Aroma of dark fruits like raisin, plum and black cherries. The 8% abv is very well masked resulting in a very smooth tasting beer with a roasted maltiness that has hints of dark chocolate, coffee, dark fruit and sugar cane. Slightly sweet dry finish. Excellent!

Nov 25, 2007 Bottle. Heavy malt smell of burnt, coffee, and dark bread, moderate perfume for the hops, light earth for the yeast, and light notes of dark rum, cola, fruitcake and alcohol. Head starts frothy and dark brown then settles to creamy/bubbly and off-white, it has good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is black and the body coats the glass well. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then finishes moderately acidic and lightly bittersweet. Palate is medium to full, creamy and has a soft carbonation. Full of some of the most deepest tastes and aromas, and has the best mouthfeel of any porter I’ve had.
