A deep dark stout with a super thick lacing dark moka head. In aroma, dark chocolate over roasted coffee grinds, some vanilla beans, and some wooden notes. In mouth, a beautiful and classy stout, with loads of black coffee, herbal qualities, light licorice, and some nice light C-hops. Turely interesting. On tap at brewpub, Sept. 12 2009.

This beer gets with age, no question. I’ve had this aged a few days ago, and a fresh bottle today, so i’ll rate it with a happy medium between the two. Aged it has all the things that make an imperial stout great, red fruit and licorice, and a full oily mouthfeel. Young it’s mouthfeel is a little watery, with hops being very evident in both nose and taste, with not a lot of fruit but a bit of chocolate and coffee. To have this young you would probably say its a stout like any other, but with a year’s time (at least, i’d like to drink it after 3) it becomes absolutely freakin amazing. Its a toss up between this and old rasputin russian imperial as to which is the best stout in alberta. I’ve had both aged, and its close. This is great.

Bomber. Pours a very dark brown with a medium creamy tan head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong roasted malt with alcohol, smoke, and chocolate. Full bodied with a thick roasted malt and oatmeal flavor with a bitter finish. A very good stout from Pike.

Black body and brownish head. Good lacing. Aroma of dark burned espresso and chocolate muffins. The flavour a mix of the above as well as anise, bitter chocolate and and a hint vanilla pod. Lingering bittersweet ending. 650ml bottle purchased in Seattle for our Superpower beer session part II in Tromsø, 29.01.09

A rich dark chocolate aroma. Flavor is almost oatmeal stout thick. Chewy chocolate. Roasty but quite good in small amounts.
