Oct 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a thin brown head. Nose of chocolate, coffee, roast and caramel. Chocolaty and roasty upfront with a little sweetness. Bitter finish. Feels a little chalky in the mouth, otherwise nicely balanced carbonation.

Oct 7, 2008 There’s some dark brown to the blackness. Rich, thick head. Some fudge and some slight nail polish phenols in the aroma. Rich milk chocolate body with more nail polish but it just gets annihilated by rich, oaty, roasty goodness.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle thanks to Thaichile. Pours a dark black hue with a large brown head. The aroma is full of rich chocolates, coffee, oatmeal, and light hops. The flavor is very nice; a robust roasted malt which is well matched by the strong oatmeal and chocolate flavors. A medium and creamy mouthfeel. A bit of earthy and not very aggressive in a nice way. The alcohol is very subdued. Very nice.

Sep 30, 2008 Poured a dark dark brown with a tan head. Aroma was really roasted with a nice coffee flavor. Flavor was fairly bitter, not hoppy bitter but bitter chocolate and burnt coffee. Pretty good stuff.

Sep 28, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours brown into black with a nice tan head. Nose was roast malt and espresso with a touch of alcohol. Taste was of roast malt and coffee with oat to balance. Mouthfeel was medium and dry and a tad chalky. Pretty good.

Sep 24, 2008 Blackish pour, nice tan head. Roast malt aroma, some grass, hop/pine. Fairly lively mouthfeel. Roast malts and a definete oat tone. Some chocolate, more coffee. Finish a little bitter. Lingers pretty well. Not earth shattering, but very good. Deserving of an average rating right about where it’s at.

Sep 21, 2008 Aromas of roast malt, alcohol, pine. Darkest brown but larity, dark khaki head. Crazy in the mouth, not heavy but weighty. Taste roast malt, alcohol, licorice.

Sep 10, 2008 Bottle received as bonus in trade but forgot who from... sorry. Pours a pitch black with a fluffy light brown head that fades to leave some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, milk, dark roasts and hops. Flavor is much of the same with a dominant coffee and chocolate presence. A smooth velvety mouthfeel presumably from the oats. A nice and surprising imperial stout.
