Nov 4, 2007 Updated: Nov 7, 2007Nicely balanced malty brew here. Pours black and syrupy. Man, you should have seen the beer come out of the tap, It just basically trickled out of that special stout tap. Seriously it came out so thick and syrupy I was waiting for about 3 min and that’s with a very steady nonstop pour. But oh was it worth it. A thick dark syrup with a huge dark/burnt malt backbone and enough syrup + sugar to balance everything out. Smooth and very GOOD.

Oct 25, 2006 GABF 2006: Clear and very dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma was big on the chocolate. Seemed like a mix or bitter-sweet and milk. It would go back and forth. the flavor was sweet and roasty. Chocolate for most of the flavor then some bitter black coffee at the finish. The CO2 had a crisp bite to it.

Oct 4, 2004 Black body, medium sized tan head with light lacing. Light and sour malt aroma, milky and grassy with some cheese notes as well. Flavors of vanilla, vegetables and old fruit. Texture is gritty, the finish is metallic and astringent, and I really can not find any reason why this would win the gold for imperial stout style. I will try this again.
