Oct 14, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours black, nearly opaque. Almost no head, beige, quickly diminishing. Light fruity aroma, maybe cherry or cranberry. Malt flavor up front, ends on bitter chocolate. Light aftertaste of bitter chocolate. Light to medium body, almost no carbonation. Alcohol hidden well. Very drinkable, but more so for the imperial stout drinker than others.

Oct 8, 2007 Bottle. I feel like this is more of a dry stout than an imperial stout. If they’d labeled it as such I think I would’ve rated it better. But, anyway, sweet and a little tart, with a dry bitter finish. Not bad.

Oct 5, 2007 Pours a dark black pour with minimal beige head. Nose is heavy on chocolate malts as well as some coffee and a hint of hop. Body is a little thin. Flavors are heavier on chocolate and coffee then in the aroma. Tasty, but for my imperials I’ll take em a little thicker and heavier.

Sep 27, 2007 This is a great imperial stout. A little bit dry though. Very dark in color, almost black. Coffee and chocolate notes.

same thin tart roasted crap, I guess I was hoping the last bottle was not a good representation but I was wrong, some ripe fruit tries to save it but way too late, picks up a smokey character after a while, some dry dark chocolate shows,

Aug 5, 2007 22 oz bottle. Poured an opaque black color. Head was thick and tan with good retention and lacing. Aroma was of subdued sour fruit and light roasty malt. Sweet on the tongue with chocolate and sour fruit flavors. Not much in the way of roasty bitterness or alcohol flavor. Medium-ish body. A bit uninspiring.

Jul 26, 2007 22 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Bottle opened with a big hiss. We know what that means. A big ass head. Maybe infection? Hope not. About 3 fingers worth and I only poured a few ounces of the beer. Pours a dark brown color with a big light tan head. Head left some nice layered lacing as it settled. Has a dusty roasted malt aroma. Flavor is roasted malt and some light chocolate. Slight roasted malt aftertaste. Light to medium body. A decent beer, but not one of the better IS’s. Thanks Wendy and Bill.
