Pours a deep black oil-like color and had a nice light brown head which leaves behind a fair amount of lacing. Had aromas of chocolate malt, mocha, java, and burnt molasses. Has a nice thick feel and flavors of chocolate, coffee, smoked wood, mild bitterness, and some alcohol. The flavors linger nicely on the palate. This is a great stout.

Bottle thanks to zathrus13. Pours thick, with a large, creamy, greyish brown head with a black body. Great lacing and full retention. Aroma of chocolate, alcohol, berries, caramel, soy, smoke, fudge and brown sugar. Taste is roasty, chocolate, smoke, wood, long, long, long duration, with yeast and tar finishing it up. Alcohol is well hidden. Texture is velvety and mouthcoating with hardly any carbonation. A quitely great beer.

Coffee and smoky aromas...dark black pour, with creamy but small head...initial flavor isn’t that strong, but definitely gives coffee tones. Duration is what really shines in this beer, strong lasting coffee flavor. Overall, a strong recommendation.

This is a really solid imperial stout. Pours a thick, inky black with very little head. Aroma is coffee and intensely smokey. Flavor is definitely RIS, with substantial roastiness, coffee and chocolate notes, with some smokey flavor also. Mouthfeel is quite smooth (little carbonation) but a bit sticky and slick. Quite good. I would recommend this beer. I bought this as a single 12oz bottle from Parti-Pak Discount Liquor in Indianapolis (Greenwood), Indiana.

(Bottle). Aroma is strongly of alcohol, and secondarily some malt and faint chocolate. Black in color, with brown rapidly dissipating head. Flavor is smokey bitter-sweet chocolate, and lots of chewy malt, with notes of alcohol. Fine lingering finish, controlled bitterness. Quite delicious.
