Jun 20, 2008 Pours an opaque near-black colour with a wispy tan head. The nose at first gives off metallic copper notes, but that fades as it warms. Notes of light fruits (honeydew, melon), some dark fruits (cherry), mild cocoa and some smoke. Overall, the nose is pretty weak for an impy stout. The flavour is a little on the light side, too, as it lacks roastiness and robustness of flavour. The smoke lingers for a while in the aftertaste, and it comes across as being a bit meaty. There are nice cocoa and cherry flavours to had also. The palate is creamy and full with soft carbonation.

Jun 20, 2008 Pours a dark brown opaque color with a small dark brown creamy head. Nose dark fruits, old pennies, and touch of cocoa. Initial taste is creamy, cocoa, roasted malt, and touch of dark fruits. Mid palate displays some smoke. Finishing with a good balancing hop, roasted malt, cocoa, coffee and mild creaminess. Palate duration is very good, medium body. Silky mouthfeel. Average head retention. Touch of the alcohol warmth. Interesting.
