Commercial Description:
Brewed using Pale, Caramel, Chocolate, Roast, Victory and Black Malts we obtained a beautifully massive black beer with an off-white head. With a thick, stick to your tongue body and espresso and mocha flavors, this Imperial Stout is surprisingly easy drinking. The body is balanced with a malty sweet finish and high amount of bitterness obtained from Magnum Hops.

Draught at the brewpub
Black color, brown creamy head. The aroma shows some coffee, cardboard, fish. Good body strength, the mouthfeel is smooth enough, it has a strong roasted malt flavor, luckily with also a small sweetness to make it more drinkable, correct bitterness. The roasted malt leads in the final. Good.

on tap-pours a disappearing light brown head and black color. Aroma is coffee, then anise/licorice/molasses/dark malt. Taste is anise/licorice/molasses/dark malt, some spice hops, then coffee which follows into after taste. Nice, rich, full body. OK carbonation.

2007 PP SAF: Opaque with long lasting head and very good lace. The aroma has notes of coffee, chocolate, walnut, leather, plum, prune, and molasses esters. The taste has a rich malty profile with some twangy dark fruits. Earthy, smoky and woody as well. The mouth feel is oily and smooth with a chalky finish. Really solid stuff that I would try again.
