Feb 20, 2007 Bottle sampled with Beerded one. Pour black, with a two finger thick dark tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and hops. The flavor is sweet, roast and chocolate is present, as well as a moderate hoppy bitterness in the finish. Excellent body, excellent brew.

Feb 11, 2007 Updated: Jun 20, 2008Dark black with a reddish tinge. Thin but nice looking dark head. Heavy chocolate aroma with licorice. Plums in there also. Palate is oily and sticky, hoppy. There must be many hops in here as they manage to come through a bit in the finish too. It would be nice to try aging a bottle of this.
Had this on draft at McGreg’s, what a treat. Original rating looks accurate.

Feb 9, 2007 22oz bomber Bottle Conditioned in 2006 from jah noth, thank you Dan! Sits black with a half finger brown head. Aroma still has a pretty good piney hop presence in part that it’s still pretty young--fresh Gonzo Imperial Porter comes to mind. It’s a nice sweet pine aroma--I really like it. A lot of roast, milk and dark chocolate, coffee, juicy raisins, a little vinous quality. Some salted peanuts are also in there. Flavor is piney and salty up front with roasted malts plow their way through the palate next, staying til the end. Some sweet raisins come towards the end and the dark chocolate is just before the finish. Semidry mildly bitter roasty finish. Alcohol is covered up exceptionally well. Full bodied, yet not syrupy with soft creamy carbonation and mouthfeel. Excellent.

Jan 23, 2007 Updated: Apr 28, 200822oz bottle, thanks to jah noth for these bombers. pours very dark with tan head that doesn’t last long. nose is mainly fresh roasted coffee with sweet milk chocolate notes, possible flower hop and vanilla oak undertones. flavor is rather roasty with sweet chocolate and dark coffee notes with hints of vanilla, a very rich flavor that finishes with a good amount of hop bitterness. mouthfeel is a tad thin, medium length on the palate, and no alcohol. a very solid imperial stout but not really groundbreaking.3.8
