Aug 13, 2009 Bottle shared at a BA tasting. Very dark brown, pretty much black, in color with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, sweet caramel malt, and a little coffee. Flavor is very sweet and full of caramel malt in addition to roast, like a mix between an American Belgian-style quad and a RIS. Some coffee and dark fruits in there too. Palate smooth and creamy but not as thick as I expect from an RIS, not that this is a bad thing. Overall pretty good, but not a standout.

Aug 9, 2009 I was going to say that, for an impy stout this seems a bit thin, then I found out it’s nearly 12% and I was floored. No indication of the high ABV. A bit simple, just notes of black olive and coffee, but very well made.

Aug 9, 2009 Bomber. Pours a dark brown black with off white head. Slightly sweet aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, and dried fruit. Somewhat lactic flavor with more chocolate and very pleasant roasted malt. A solid stout.

Aug 7, 2009 Bottle shared by hellbilly. Sniffer was probly shot but just got an odd sweet aroma. Black body with tan head. Leather flavor to the beer texture with some Sweet chcolate but faint. Good decent brew just don’t know how to explain to from my notes from a month ago.

Aug 5, 2009 Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Thin coffee and barley coffee aroma. Correct body, some residual sweetness; the coffee flavor (mild) is joined by a very light sourness. At the end there is some evident alcohol warmth. Atypical, but not extreme, not bad.

Aug 1, 2009 On tap at the brewery pours pitch black with tan head. Aroma is roast malt, coffee, chocolate, licorice, and caramel. Viscous mouthfeel. Flavor has layers of complexity and follows the nose. Real rich and satisfying.
