May 6, 2008 Poured a dark black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, a little coffee, and alcohol. Flavor is also very chocolatey with a nice burnt coffee hoppy bitter finish which is good but does not cover up the alcohol as much as I would have hoped.

May 6, 2008 Courtesy of TheCheeseMan, Daniel I’m forever grateful for this wonderful beer!! It’s pitch black and the head is small, dense and nougat colored. The aroma is smooth with notes of oats, roasted malt, sweetness, dark fruits, sweet licorice and the mouthfeel is oily and nice. The flavour is incredibly smooth, harmonic, full-bodied - in fact voluminous. It’s an orgy of tasty oats, roasted malt, dark fruit, sweet licorice, light coffee, full and pleasant sweetness and you do not feel the 11% at all. It’s hard to describe this wonderful beer, try it if you get the chance!!

May 4, 2008 Pours black, with a short lived brown head. Incredible aroma! My notes say "Great taste of fish" but I think I was drunk and quoting Monty Python. Regardless, I was clearly impresed with a strong chocolate aroma. Tastes fantastic, oaty thick with molasses and alcohol in the finish. Love it! Thick body with great carbonation. Very, very nice. Many thanks to Ughsmash for the trade!

May 1, 2008 Bottle courtesy of jsquire. Thanks, Jeff! Small tan head that mostly diminished, virtually no lacing, opaque, no carbonation noted, and a black hue. Nose was malt, roasty, chocolate, hoppy, and oats. Flavor was malt, chocolate, roasty, hoppy, lightly bitter, and the ABV was well masked. Smooth mouthfeel and medium in body. Very quaffable brew, nicely done and worthy of a try if it comes your way.

Apr 29, 2008 650 ml bottle courtesy of jjpm74. This one pours and opaque dark brown color with a medium khaki head. The aroma is bold with dark fruit; plums, dates and black cherries. The flavor is pretty much identical to the aroma, the big dark fruits are all there with an emphasis on the dark cherries. The hops are moderate and well integrated with a bit of biter chocolate present. The mouthfeel is full and satisfying. The finish is long and dry. Overall: This is a superb impy stout, and it goes very well with snickerdoodle cookies.

Apr 26, 2008 Pours a dark dense brown/black hue, thick creamy tan head dissipates to a thin ring. Smell dominated by big malts ranging from caramel to bread and roast. Taste opens with roasty chocolate malts, high alcohol presence, and brown sugar, transitions to oatmeal, coffee, dark fruit, and bitter hops, finishes with booze and syrupy sweet molasses. Full-bodied, thick and chewy texture with a burning alcohol sensation, prickly and lively carbonation. Somewhat hampered by a domineering alcohol presence (11%abv), but overall great malt profile with a range of complex flavors.
