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 into shaker at the brewery. Dark, opaque brown colour with a thin tan head and nice stair-step lacing. Aroma is bittersweet chocolate and a little molasses. The flavour is fantastic with more dusty chocolate and warming alcohol. The 8.9 ABV is well hidden until the finish, but it does add up. Very enjoyable IP stout and I look forward to trying other brews here based on this beer. I’d love to share this beer but currently not available in any form (bottles or growlers) other than draught at the brewery.

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.

2007 PP Strong Ale Fest: Poured black with a tan head. Milk chocolate aroma and flavor. Bitter hop and roasted finish. Some mild fruitiness. Medium body and decent warmth.

black, creamy tan head, sweet and sour dark chocolate aroma, rich dark chocolate flavor, roasted bitterness keeps it pretty dry, just a touch of vanilla sweetness slowly builds to bring it back,

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.

Very dark color. Aroma seemed to have a little coffee almost, but nothing of coffee in the flavor. Strong, but not particularly tasty. Not roasty, just has a bit too much of an alcohol bite. Very little head. Overall, not impressed.
