Rating # 700. This is a damn fine beer. Pours out a deep black color with a thick bown head. Brew is very thick, very close to burnt motor oil. Aroma is deep choco color with huge roasted malts to it. Flavor is semi sweet choco with lots of caramel sweetness. I really like this brew.

Aug 28, 2008 22oz from a courteous gentleman on Beerinator. Lovely dark pour with a modest head. Absolutely massive chocolate aroma, with some strong hints of blackstrap molasses too. Sludgy motor oil body, with a bit of hop liveliness to perk things up. Deep rich taste and a velvet mouthfeel. Nice one.

Aug 11, 2008 Richmond Summer Gathering. Bomber. Deep brown, almost black, with a brown head. Chocolate and coffee nose, light licorice, a bit of alcohol. Full, slick body, slithers into the gullet. Bittersweet chocolate flavors, muted coffee and licorice, a bit of grapefruit rind peeks in. Nice!

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle at the Williamsburg Gathering courtesy of Immy. Black pour. Small brown head. Nose is dark malts, chocolate, licorice and coffee. Taste is dark and bittersweet chocolate, roasted malts, licorice, juicy hops, soft alcohol and coffee. Body is medium-full with some creamy carbonation and an oily slickness to it. Ends with more chocolate, dark, roasted malts, coffee and alcohol. Big Imperial Stout and very tasty!
