Mar 12, 2007 22oz bottle via trade with MrBendo. Aroma: Rich chocolate, roasted malt, anise, coffee, cream, and dark fruits. Definitely some hops in here, too. Pine and citrus come through loud and clear. Appearance: Black with no highlights. Dark tan head was full and creamy with decent retention. Good lacing. Flavor: Chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, cream, light smoke and anise. Again, the hops come through fairly strong with pine and citrus. Grains and hops meld together well. Medium high bitterness. Some lingering sweetness and grain after the finish. Palate: Full bodied and creamy. Moderate carbonation. Alcohol warming all over tongue. Overall: Solid imperial stout. Good play between malt flavors and hops. Really enjoyed it.

Mar 10, 2007 Pours black as night with a small brown head that lasts a long time. Aroma is chocolate, malt and a tartness. Flavor is very rich and consists of mostly chocolate and coffee with some hop bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden for such a potent brew. Very good example of the style.

Feb 21, 2007 Updated: Jan 1, 2009(bottle - 22 oz: 2006 edition) Dark black with a thick and creamy tan head. Aroma is dark and roasty with hints of chocolate, caramel, coffee, burnt malts, and a light hop touch. Flavor is very deep and rich as well. Lots of roasted chocolate malts with a roasty and warm middle and a very smooth and roasted dark malt finish. Very warming and chocolaty at the finish.
