Wow what an amazing imperial stout this is. The color is extreamly black with a thin tan head, you can see your reflection on the sides of the glass. Thats how black it is. The nose is a rich mocha chocolate and coffee bean smell that is so strong it never fades. As you drink it you can really taste the rich flavors of coocolate and coffee mixed with bitter hops. I really enjoy that robust bitter coffee that coats your mouth like a coffee film on the side walls of your mouth. The finish is full bodied and the flavor of chocolate and coffee never leave.

Jul 17, 2008 I would call this one a desert beer. Great tasting, you can most certainly taste the chocolate and cocoa. Overall smooth but a little bit of bubble in the mouth. Not an overwellming aroma but a good one. Looks great, taste great, overall great stout by the oskar blues guys.

Jul 17, 2008 Canette de 12 oz achetée chez Julio’s Liquors (Westborough, MA). Arôme: Odeur de chocolat au lait avec une pointe de café. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque avec une très faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col brun crémeux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût très chocolaté avec une pointe de café et de caramel. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est plein avec une texture crémeuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de chocolat amer en arrière goût. (Rating #1826)

Jul 16, 2008 Delivers delicious roasted chocolate in the nose with an oily black pour that explodes from the can with a strong and slowly building fluffy dark brown head. The hops come across more aggressively on the 2nd time around the nose. Roasty with some tobacco and leather notes. Creamy and not overly complex, but still really well done and enjoyable to drink. A light bit of dark fruits and roasted caramel coffee round out the flavor profile. Nicely done/

Jul 15, 2008 I love drinking this beer. I’ve spent some good time in Colorado, so I’m partial to any brew from there, and this is one of the best. Like Yeti, this features that dry-as-rock chocolate ambiance that encircles the whole taste. Unripe currant follows. Unlike Yeti, this doesn’t need time in a barrel for its deep, hardcore character. This dog’ll hunt.

Jul 14, 2008 [Can] Absolutely the darkest, most viscous pour I’ve ever seen. Beautiful brown head of fine bubbles that sticks around. Sweet candi sugar aroma, tons of roasted barley, some citric hops, and a little alcohol. Incredibly rich mouthfeel, but very well carbonated at the same time. Bitter, roasted barley on the finish with a little bit of warming alcohol.
