Aug 23, 2009 From the Bottle at Dr Bill’s Tasting Falling Rock Tap House, Denver 10/10/2008
Bourbon aroma. Beige head. Black smooth on the palate and strong in alcohol with a little dryness in a bitter and warming malt finish.

Aug 22, 2009 Pours a very dark liquid with a very thin layer of mocha head/crown.
Smells fantastic, toffee, caramel, roasted malt, chocolate, cream, maybe a little vanilla.
Taste at first was solid, but unremarkable, but this leaves such a great chocolate and creamy aftertaste. Milky up front. Extremely good.
Mouth is medium to heavy in body, low to med in carbonation.
I hope to get another chance to try this great brew.

Aug 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a black body with a tan head. Sweet malty but a hint grainy and slick, some lighter salty chocolate and grainy dried fruits. Not one of the better stouts out there.

Jun 29, 2009 12 oz bottle
I can’t remember the way in which this got to my cellar but I am glad to have a second bottle. While it is starting to go downhill I think it still has a few more months of life left in it. A solid all-around imperial stout this one is an example of how a regional brewery can do big beers right.
Aroma / Appearance - The fuzzy tan head and fluid black body intermingle with sheets of tinted lacing. Flourless chocolate torte dominates the headspace but there is also a hint of raspberry infused black coffee. Including the oatmeal cookies the overall experience is not unlike that of a fully stocked dessert tray.
Flavor / Palate - A little thin bodied it nonetheless packs quite a flavor punch. Cold black coffee, vanilla, chocolate, and some malt swirl around the senses. Perhaps a bit heavy on cocoa it could be a bit more balanced. Regardless it has enough complexity to deserve spending some time reflecting on its strengths. This is an ideal after dinner treat.

Jun 27, 2009 12oz bottle from both Bleeng and Deniz....pours close to black with a moderate yet quickly dissipating tan head.....aroma of grapes, alcohol, soy, and chocolate....flavors improved with an emphasis on clean chocolate, roasted malt. perhaps some added dark fruit and a roastysour bitterness in the finish. alcohol a little more prevalent in the nose. not as full-bodied as i was expecting.

Jun 15, 2009 Black with a lasting tan head. Aroma is roasted, with chocolate and a touch of smoked ham. Intense and sweet roasted flavour with chocolate and a hint of smoke. Loads of alcohol, gets a little cloying after a while.

Jun 8, 2009 Black with a brown head. Big ass roasty malt, sweet brown sugar and chocolate aromas. Smooth medium body. Very good earthy molasses and black malt flavors with lightly sweet dark chocolate. Great beer.
