Bottle courtesy of tpd975. Pours a dark brown to black color with thin tan yellow head. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of chocolate, dark ripe fruit, some notes of caramel, coffee, smoke, and wood. Flavor is roasted and malty with a slight hop presence, hints of chocolate, coffee and caramel. Generally full-bodied with a pleasing coffee/chocolate finish.

22 ounce bottle split in pint glass. Black with lasting tan head and lace. Dark chocolate and roasted coffee aroma with complex smoky roasted slightly burnt bitterness and delightfully understated fruitiness. Full body, especially for abv, and medium carbo. Very complex and delicious without overdoing the alcohol. Excellent.

A bit flat and watery with an overpowering bitter finish. Doesnt stand up to other imperial stouts in the same price and IBV range.

Very good beer. Went to the brewery today, and it was amazing. Nice smooth chocolate and ash taste. This beer was creamy and had a nice brown chocolate head that was excellent. Very smooth and creamy. Went during "hoppy hour" so this made it even better/cheaper. Anyways, a wonderful stout with a nice creamy and coffee/chocolate taste. Have fun drinking this one.

Bottle. Pours a deep, dark black with a beige head. Aroma is slight chocolate coffee bean. Flavor is bitter chocolate and powdered chocolate coffee bean. Nice, full mouthfeel. Very enjoyable stout.

Black pour with a bit of a dark red tinge to it and a small to medium tan head. Sugar and toffee in the smell, very thick and inviting. Heavy malt in the flavor with some caramel and toffee taste and some chocolate and coffee lingering in there as well. A very nice chewy mouthfeel that lingers on the tongue. A slight bitter finish, similar to but far more mild than a dry stout. Extremely tasty, hope to visit their pub the next time I am in Seattle.

Black with a 1/2" tan head. Aroma of sugar and milk, and toasty malt. Flavor is malty sweetness all the way. Superb intricate lacing. Consistency is like skim milk. The flavor finishes with a slack bitterness.

Bomber poured an opaque black with a lasting creamy brown head. Aromas of roasted malt, bitter chocolate, coffee, light vanilla, light licorice and a hint of dark fruit. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of roasted malt, charcoal, bitter chocolate, light coffee, light vanilla and a hint of dark fruit with a smooth dry lingering bitter roasty finish.
