Dec 6, 2007 GABF. Chocolate and coffee on the aromas. More on the flavor, but much more subtle. Some hopps on the finish. little bit of alcohol in there too. Decent

Nov 26, 2007 tap. nice looking pitch black. the aroma alerted me early that this might have something in it that i wouldn’t like. smelled like a chocolate popsicle that had aloe vera on it flavor at first was o.k. sweet milky hersheys like sweetness with an blurry hop taste. unfortunately this flavor came into focus. ended up way too herbal & minty for me. the beer was drinkable & far from being bad, just not something i’m into.

Nov 2, 2007 Tap @ Redfish: Poured black with a tan head. The aroma was roasty, sweet and malty. Some notes of dark chocolate and alcohol. The alcohol aroma borders on being too much. The flavor is fairly sweet and lightly roasted. Not much in the way of coffee or chocolate. Almost full bodied and sticky. Some warmth.

Oct 27, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Pours an opaque oily black with a rich dark tan/light brown, spotty-lacing head. Aroma of sweet complex dark caramel and chocolate with a touch of dark fruits and roastiness. Sticky sweet dark caramel malty body has a mild hint of acetone and some rich dark chocolate and coffee flavors toward a full, bittersweet roasted finish. A pretty nice imperial stout.
