2008 Bottle #473 thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a very small white head over a black as tar body. Aroma is rich with chocolate, vanilla and a coffee finish. Some fudge and nuts too. Very sweet. Taste is bitter up front with a slight lactic note and very bitter, pure baking chocolate. A bit of coffee. Low residual sugars. Silky mouthfeel, light bubbles.

Bottle… C&P’sLYFO Throwdown… Very dark ale (almost tar black) that shows a clear ruby hue when held up to light. Small, creamy, fat-bubbled, beige head. Both the aroma and flavor offer roasted nuts, espresso and milk chocolate. Full-bodied with a soft, silky mouthfeel and gentle carbonation. Finishes chocolaty and bitter. Bottle provided by Beerlando. Thanks, Bryan! Video = http://homepage.mac.com/maltajo/RATEBEER/iMovieThe

CPLYFO 09. Thanks to Beerlando for sharing late night. Pours a very nice oily viscous pure black with a thin lasting filmy dark head. Aroma is licorice, nutty toasty and roasty malts, roasted barely- coffee, lots of earth, hints of dirt and ash with some fruity esters. Fruity and modestly sweet flavor- raisin, and some apple, chocolate malts, modest roast character, licorice and hints of tar and tobacco as it warms a bit. This was pretty big and complex for a 9.2%.

Bottle from Tweety, finally I get to try this. Thanks Paul!! Black pour with a nice tan head. This beer rocks. Aroma is full of molasses, light roasted malt, choclate, prunes and some strong coffee. Flavor is full and rich, molasses, liquor soaked raisins, chocolate and a bit of coffee. Damn this is good. Paul, thank you so much. I was sure this was a beer I would never try.

2008 vintage, bottle #102. Pours virtually pitch black with hints of mahogany at the outer edges. A thick, foamy, light brown head is well retained, leaving dense, sheety lacing on the glass. This brew looks heavy and oily, just like an imperial stout should. Aromas of dark, concentrated cacao, molasses, espresso, and dark fruits show complex and well integrated. Notes of old oak, vanilla, and some roasted hazelnut come through as well. Flavors show a light smokiness, perhaps from the molasses, with more toasty, oaken vanilla and heaps of rich chocolate and scorched caramel. I swear I get some faint bourbon notes, though that might be a figment of my imagination. The body is thick, smooth, and creamy. Nealy full bodied and lightly carbonated, the palate is really nice. This is a damn nice imperial stout. Pleasant surprise here.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with Cletus (thanks!). Bottle # 118 (but of how many???). 2008 Vintage. Poured a dark black color, with reddish/brown edges, and an averaged sized brown head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, lightly nutty, molasses, and some coffee. Tastes of chocolate, vanilla, dark fruits, roast, molassess, smoke, and some bitter coffee in the finish. Some lacing left on the glass.
