Mar 12, 2003 Updated: Apr 3, 2004Very good beer. I did not have any problems with skunkiness or anything else that others have commented on. The head of this beer is beautiful--looks like a capuccino head. Color is very dark. The taste is a classic stout with a more coffee flavor with a dark-chocolate flavor thrown in there. The beer isnt as thick as I imagined, which is good and bad. It makes me want to drink it too fast. The best thing about this beer is its long, creamy and pleasant finish. This is probably another reason why I drank it fast. The 7% is hidden amazingly.
re-rate. Aroma is diminished than I remember. Finish is a little watery.

May 19, 2004 550mL bottle, 05.19.04 Pours impossibly black; smallish, dark tan head, no lacing. Aromas of bananas foster, bubblegum, gumdrops. Delicious beer with flavors of plum, prune, charred fruits, burnt toast, licorice, dark molasses. Palate is chewy and burnt, but I could go for more sweetness. The malts are quite dominant until the bitter, burnt ending. Great, widely available beer.

Aug 23, 2003 Updated: Jan 30, 2005Black and nearly opaque with a massive, gravity-defying, creamy, tan, foamy head. Roasted, smoky aroma with dark fruits, esters, toffee, and mocha. Flavors of smoke, black coffee, and licorice with a dry, bitter finish. Smooth and luscious palate. This stout is superb paired with strong cheese, melon and chocolate.

Oct 20, 2002 A heavy beer with a liquorice like taste.Its not meant for session drinking but rather for supping like a classical port.Unique and easily identifiable.
Whe you find a bottle enjoy it-slowly.

Aug 16, 2004 Updated: Jul 31, 2005Bottle at Yeoman’s Road Pub. There is no downside to this stout. It is the classic English style Imperial stout in look, smell, taste and mouthfeel. Soooooo drinkable.

Jan 28, 2007 Bottle. Lots of chocolate and light roast in the nose. Opaque black pour with a large, creamy, luscious-looking rocky light brown head. Sour dark chocolate with vague dark fruits and tons of malt. Roast establishes itself more in the long and darkly chocolaty aftertaste. Light sweetness, medium-stength sourness, and little-to-no bitterness. Medium body with a touch of alcohol and a nice malt complexity. Smooth and sultry. Not the sludgy kind of stout, though has some chewiness, much more refined.
