Jul 26, 2008 Pour black with a medium mocha head. Smells very abrasive - alcohol, chocolate, toasted malts. Taste is very imperial stout - roasted malt, chocolate, alcohol. What an imperial stout should be - nothing glorified.

Jul 25, 2008 This is a unique imp stout. Pours a predictable black with a smallish brown head. Roasty and toasty on the nose with some good coffee, roasted malt and chocolate. A delicious bitter finish makes this a really nice beer to drink. YUMMY!

Jun 28, 2008 Pours a thick black, no head really to show for this pour. Aroma is more of a coffee almost a chocolate or molasses smell there. Surprisingly the taste isn’t at all over powering. You don’t really get anything at first but then malt sneaks up on you to let you know they are around. Taste is really a malty coffee taste. It is mild though unlike most Imperial Russian Stouts this one is rather tame. I get very little after taste with this beer. It definitely ranks up there as one my favorites

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle. Nearly black oily pour with minimal brown head. Gotta coax that sucker. Roasty coffee and barley as well as chocolate as well as butterscotch and a bit of vanilla bean on the nose. Similar palate, but with added hops a bit sweeter and milkier than expected given the bitter roast nose. A little thin on the palate. Still, a very good beer from a wonderful brewery.
