Dec 2, 2005 Bottle. Black body with subtle ruby glints and a thick brown frothy head. Lovely malty aroma with roasted coffee, plum, hops, and brown sugar notes. Alcohol is very well hidden. Incredibly well balanced and complex malty/hoppy taste. Vineous feeling and hints of plum, blackberries, dark chocolate, and roasted cereals. It ends with a long, sharp and warming finish. The perfect beer on this cold and windy Friday night, and a well deserved reward for a busy week at work.

May 21, 2007 Dark black cola pour with large muddy gray/tan head. Beautiful aroma of rum raisin. Strong licorice complex flavor, very potent. Mouth puckering dry but slightly bitter finish. Body seems a tad thin for an IS. Great but feel like one little something is missing... the licorice flavor is sooo strong it over powers the other flavors (such as cappuccino). Deserves a 6 on appearance.... the initial pour is quite inviting.

Feb 28, 2009 550 ml bottle from Stateline. Poured a super dark brown with a large frothy yellowish beige head. Aroma of vanilla extract, chocolate, roastiness and almonds. Sweet yet roasty flavor with lots of vanilla and chocolate up front plus espresso and dark fruit. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a slight roasty burnt aftertaste that lingers. Nicely done.
