Feb 7, 2008 12 oz bottle from ucusty - thanks David! Black as night with a dark brown head. Lightly burnt malt and coffee nose, a bit of raisin and a very mild whiskey note. Dark chocolate flavor, some coffee and earthy hop. Palate is just on the full side. Charred finish, mildly bitter coffee and dry bittersweet chocolate. Nice!

Feb 2, 2008 Courtesy beerlando. This one poured a dark chocolate color with a thin tan head that left minimal lacing. It has a nice sweet aroma of dark chocolate, raisins, some dark fruit, and some roasty smells. The flavor is dominated by the dark malts and chocolate with hints of roasted coffee and fruits in the background. The mouthfeel is full and creamy and easy drinking with a full chocolaty finish. It was not as roasty as some imperial stouts, but still really nice.

Feb 1, 2008 This bottled brew from JSquire at a rating party poured a head of finely sized dark brown colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a opaque no visible carbonation dark black colored body. The aroma was roasted malt toasted malt and dark malt. The semi-thick crisp and clean mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of hops roasted malt and dark malt. A wonderful best in class brew.

Jan 30, 2008 All the IS prerequisites with a little more vanilla than I expected. Great head and lace. Much better than many of the the ISs I have of late. Too bad I can’t find more of this.

Jan 27, 2008 12 oz bottle thanks to lb4lb. Pours a dark brown black with a brown head and monster lacing (lochness?) Smoky nose that disipates into ashy grain and lots of chocolate. Creamy chocolate flavors. Rich and malty. Dark and milk chocolate, anise, roasty and a more of the ashyness in the finish. Creamy and smooth body. Good beer but the ashyness detracted from its otherwise solid points..

Jan 27, 2008 Black pour, small brown head. Aroma is roasty, chocolate and licorice. Flavor is much the same roastiness up front with dark chocolate and some mollasses sweetness with licorice in the finish. Coffee as it warms and a little more caramel and mollasses with the licorice staying also. Even more fruity esters as it warms taking this more on the sweeter side with coffee staying strong. Good beer but really hs a lingering sweetness.

Jan 25, 2008 Updated: Mar 2, 2009BIG thanks to lb4lb for just sending this beer to me without asking for anything. Poured an inky black color with a creamy, deep tan head. Aroma of sweet chocolate, some roastiness, a bit of coffee and a hint of smoke. Sweet chocolate and some roastiness on the entry, leads into a coffee flavor and finishes with some smokiness om the finish. Nice and creamy. Good stuff, and thanks again to Deniz for sending me this bottle.
