Apr 17, 2009 Bottle from CaptainCougar. Thanks again for this and all the other great beers. Pours opaque black with a multfinger reddish tan head. Aromas of chocolate and dark fruit. Near full bodied with creamy carbonation. Heat is mildly detectable. Flavor is dark fruit, coffee, chocolate, maybe cherry. Lots going on here. Takes awhile, but some smokiness arrives. Finishes more dry than sweet. Much more. It’s a really good drink.

Apr 3, 2009 Bottle thanks to travita. Pours with a dark brown head atop a completely black body. Aroma of alcohol, banana esters coupled to fusel alcohol, with chocolate and light smoke. Taste is chocolates and lots of alcohol for the ABV, needs some time to mellow out. A bit of Belgian yeast notes and candi sugar notes at the back end. Syrupy, light carbonation.

Apr 2, 2009 In short: A slightly chocolaty imperial stout with a little peaty and smoky touch. Very good, almost excellent.
How: Bottle 22oz. Consumed when 6+ months of age. Given to me in person by Kmweaver. Thanks a lot Ken.
The look: Black body topped by a small brown head
In long: Nose of heavy molasses and other “sweet dark stuff”. A bunch of flavour elements peacefully coexist with no single flavour element that standing out from the crowd. Bug body with plenty of dark malts with flavours of black chocolate, some peat, figs cookies, light smokiness, tobacco leaves, burnt bananas, some vanilla, some coconut. Medium roastiness. Very comfortable full pillowy body. Would gladly have it again. Named after a flag that once was the emblem of people always trying to appropriate the wealth of others. Has since been replaced by Stars and Stripes flag.

Apr 2, 2009 Bottle @ jbrus. Dark color. Aroma is malty, coffee, bit licorice. Quite bitter taste. Decent imperial stout, but probably is a bit weak after all that fantastic stuff we have been drinking during this session.
