Commercial Description:
Jolly Roger himself smoked the malt for this Imperial Stout. This is a massive stout with a huge roasted maltiness and complex smoky, chocolate flavors coming through strong thanks to the gentle handpump and correct cellar temperature.

This was a decent IRS that to me just seemed middle of the road...well to my spoiled palate at least....still a darn good beer.....fairly strong roasted malt flavors and has a bit of smokeyness to it but not overpowering at all or even super promenent in the flavors still wish that it finished a bit drier than I would prob rate it a bit higher....but thanks to kramer17801 for giving me this beer in a trade!

Pours black with an off-white head. Sweet with aromas of chocolate, caramel, prunes and alcohol. Full boodied with a slightly sticky mouthfeel. Medium to low carbonation.

Thanks to Mike for this one. Black bodied, ring of tan bubbles. Sweet chocolate and dark fruit aromas. Dark fruit, smoke and candy flavors. I love the roasted smoke in this imperial stout.

Thanks pepsican. Real nice looking. Smell is almost absent, but some chocolate and cream. Body is the best part of this beer, very thick, creamy. Not a very aggressive taste either. Chocolate, marshmallow, cream, hops, roasty. Very nice beer.

black pour with a creamy tan head. Faint chocolate and hop aroma. Flavor had a nice hoppy kick with some chocolate, caramel, smoke,booze, and just a bit of cherry. Finished very creamy.

Pours a flat brown with little head. Sweet chocolatey aroma. Flavor is rich, sweet and roasty with moderate alcohol. Pretty good.

Bottle, courtesy tronraner. Pours black with brownish highlights. Tons of lacing, giant foamy head. Chocolate is assertive in the nose, with caramel wrapped in booziness. Thick malt is inviting. Flavor has thick caramel, with a chocolate background. Booziness in the finish, and some cotton candy. Hoppy finish balances the overall feel, and quite drinkable as a sipping RIS.
