Feb 29, 2008 Bottle. Fantastic! I love Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout and Rogue Shakespeare Stout and this may just top them both. I live close to St Georges in VA and I hope they have more kegs of this left, so I can get one this week. I didn’t know I could find such a great beer so close to home.

Feb 18, 2008 <b?Draft. Holy Moly! INTENSE mega-dark chocolate charred flavor! Bitterness well balanced on this. Black, opaque. Almost smells like burnt chocolate, too. Consistent as it warms. If you are looking for a "WOW!" stout - this is it. Not for the meek. Definitely stands out in my mind when compared to most Imperial Stouts.
