Apr 25, 2009 Black pour with a dark tan head. Oats, chocolate, booze, and cocoa in the aroma. Flavor was very boozy with a good chunk of bitter chocolate and a bit of toffee. Watery mouthfeel killed it a bit.

Apr 24, 2009 Updated: Apr 30, 2009Incredibly dark head. Very nice aroma, but flavor falls short. Alcohol and bitterness are both fairly strong. As the beer warmed, the flavor became sort of bland.

Apr 21, 2009 Bottle thanks to 17thfloor. Opaque black with medium to large creamy burnt tan head. Aroma is chocolate, roast, dry, wonderful. Dry chocolate, bakers chocolate, roast, nice bitterness, slight alc, rich but dry. Medium to full with creamy, syrupiness. Absolutely delicious, a great imperial stout.

Apr 21, 2009 Bottle shared with xnoxhatex and funkybrewster. Pours a lovely uniform obsidian with a small creamy frothy fine tan head. Aroma of bitter-sweet chocolate, molasses, some sort of spices, oatmeal, light fruit. Dry but decadent first taste, dark fruits, nice bitterness, prunes, lots of dark unsweetened chocolate, just a touch ashy, oatmeal aftertaste. A hint of alcohol is noticeable throughout with a touch of burnt sugar. Full bodied with a creamy mouthful and fine sizzling carbonation.

Apr 20, 2009 Bottled. Pours dark w/minimal tan/brown head. Aroma is bitter dark chocolates...some cerises as well. Taste is nice and sweet with a bit of a bitter kick. Well done Stone as usual.

Apr 18, 2009 Bitter, chocolate, oatmeal? Indeed. Smooth and creamy, with DARK chocolate coming through. Alcohol is well-hidden (well, fo the style.) A delicious beer.

Apr 16, 2009 Bottle... Poured black with a brown head. Oaky aroma with roasted malts. A little bit of alcohol flavors and roasted oats and grains before a coffee-like finish.
islay (470), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
Apr 16, 2009 22 oz. bottle, consumed on 4-12-2009. Sweet aroma of chocolate and brownies. Pleasant but forgettable smell. Pours a dark brown with a dark amber hue, some effervescence, and a small amount of dark tan head. Charred, bitter, tarry taste. Plum, black cherry, and chocolate flavors. Alcohol taste evident. Long, bitter aftertaste. Full body. Rich, perhaps overly so. Oily in the palate.
