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.

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.

Tasting session at jbrus. Bottled. Opaque black appearance, small brown head. Chocolate malty aroma. Very strong bitter flavour. Just another Imperial Stout.

Bottle @ jbrus’s place. Dried fruit and laurel in the aroma. Roast, licorice, laurel and apple syrup in the flavor.Nice, but nothing really special.

Bomber. Pours a nice deep almost black with a foamy lasting head. Aroma is very herbal, hoppy, green acetaldehyde, toasted malts, burnt acrid charred malts, and light roast. More green apple in the flavor, dry burnt malts, burnt toast, nutty, earth, herbal, lots of fresh hops, and actually not even all that smooth in the end. Im not sure if I have ever had a good bottle of this now that I think of it. BA version is so good, it is weird how the regular version is so much different.

Well, they didn’t have this winner when we visited State College last summer. No worries, Cpt. Couger was like Captain AMerican in gettingt me one between snowstorms, and sent it as..an extra. This smooth drinker was just what I needed this weekend. Pours black and thick, with good white head. The real think, one sip is a drinkable bitterness, the next a bit of coffee, great malting integrated.

Bottle pours black with tan head. Aroma is caramel roast with a touch of smoke. Heavy mouthfeel. Flavor is strong roast malt, coffee, chocolate, has a creaminess, and finishes with a strong bitterness. Nice brew overall.
