Jan 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a black with reddish hues and a one finger tan head. The nose is metallic, cocoa and light coffee. Taste is roasted malt, black licorice, dark chocolate and coffee. Taste is much better than the aroma. Medium semi creamy mouth feel. Good stuff.

Jan 21, 2009 The pour was dark as one would expect. A short lived tan head popped up and then was gone. The aroma was fairly standard imperial stout, maybe a bit heavier on the malts than one would normally find. Chocolate, coffee, roasted malt and thin hops come through. The flavor was malt heavy with chocolate and faint hops. Average, borderline unexciting mouthfeel. A nice traditional example of the style.

Jan 21, 2009 Updated: May 9, 2009Dark brown with a hint of red perhaps? I’m drunk, stupid and it’s dark. I could turn the lights on but that would mean standing up. Coffee, chocolate, as expected but not shouting about it in those areas which made for a very drinkable brew. The man from del monte said yes to this mother hubbard.

Jan 21, 2009 Updated: Oct 14, 2009Pours very dark and black and a decent head forms that doesn’t seem to last long enough. Some deep rich raisins and other dark fruits are extremely strong in the nose. Smells a bit boozy as well. The dark raisins really come through on the palate as well as a bit of a tar-like flavor in the finish. Other notes of roasted malts and is also a bit spicey.

Jan 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark and thick with a tan head that dissipated quickly. Nearly jet black in the mug. Complex sweet-and-spicy and roasty aroma. Pleasantly dense mouthfeel. Flavor is strong, but smooth. A pleasant hint of hops, with a bit of chocolate and coffee and other earthy flavors. Very nive stout, and not too difficult to find. This is a favorite in our household.

Jan 20, 2009 I had never tried an Imperial stout and was looking forward to this one.
As soon as I opened the bottle the rich roast malt aroma really hit strong. This increased with the pour.
The beer was velvety black and looked wonderfully rich.
This beer has been described as "liquid Christmas Pudding" and with the complexity of the flavours I can really understand why. The beer had rich fruity flavours and a bitter roast malt aftertaste
