Feb 16, 2009 22oz - Aroma is full of deep chocolate, vanilla, ashy dark malts with an oatmeal finish. Pours black with a small brown head. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is sticky and lasting. Alcohol is well hidden. This is a very tasty brew.

Feb 12, 2009 Bottle (22oz). Shared with blankboy and garthicus. Opaque black pour, decent and lasting creamy/foamy brown head - 4+. Very dry aroma, moderate alcohol, plenty of bitter chocolate and herbal/resin hoppiness, nutshells and some coffee. The taste follows - stronger alcohol, something oddly like cherry-flavoured milk, but it’s about the bitter chocolate, really, some woodsmoke - niiiice. Only average body, slick, somewhat alcoholic and acidic, long bitter resin/chocolate ..... damn that’s nice - packs a punch too.

Feb 10, 2009 Imbibed from a small snifter from Davis Graduate tap.
Color is space black, can easily see my reflection in it. Head is a dark mocha that laces the glass heavily, although the main head dies down after a bit. Smell is slight malt, Jagermeister, dark french-roast coffee. Initial taste is anise, very bitter chocolate. Body is intense roasted malt, dark coffee and dark chocolate. Finishes with slightly citric hops, dark chocolate, and alcohol sensation. Palate feel is very thick, oily, alcohol/anise sensation. Would definitely tear the heavens and earth asunder to get more.

Feb 9, 2009 Another awesome stout from Stone. Not quite as intense as their Imperial Stout, but very well-done. Pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Lots of dark chocolate on the taste with some coffee and roasted malt. Dangerously drinkable - I feel like I could down a gallon of this stuff (but would regret it as it came back up). Really smooth and fairly full palate.

Feb 9, 2009 Updated: Feb 28, 2009Bottle. Pours a great aggressive black with little head. Great sweet malt taste against the big boozy nature of the beer. Top to bottom a classic imperial stout. I don’t get the recent low ratings for this stout.
