Black with a thin brown head. Roasty chocolate and mint aroma with some spicy hops and a musty note. Huge body, huge alcohol presence. Tasty chocolate and roast flavor with licorice, cola, coconut (?), vanilla. Low bitterness for the strength. Fairly complex and tasty but too alcoholic.

Dec 30, 2009 Bottled. A black beer with barely any head contrary to my expectations and wishes. Actually looks a bit flat. Aroma has some citrussy hops together with a hint of sourness. Chocolate and cold coffee in the mouth. Fruity and lacking roasted malt flavours. Sticky oily texture yet a short finish. There are some really good bits to this beer but sufficiently enough poor letdowns to be a bit of a disappointment.

Dec 29, 2009 On tap at Nimbus brewery. Pours thick black with dark tan head, and aroma is full of caramel and chocolate malt. Taste starts a bit hoppy and moves into coffee and chocolate malt, with a nice bittering finish. Terrific impy stout!

Dec 27, 2009 Poured black with a moderate tan head. Aroma is chocolate, vanilla, and cherry fruitiness primarily. Has a rich toasted flavor and is very complex. Flavors that presented themselves included chocolate, coffee, cherry, vanilla, toffee-ish sweetness, nuttiness, and a nice bitter bite to finish it at the end. Had a nice silky mouthfeel. Really liked this one.
