Note possible bad bottle. This Imperial Stout poured a deep black color from the bottle. Small sized beige foamy head. Aroma is soap and urinal. Thin body. Some roasty malts but lots of off flavors. Will re-rate if I ever find another bottle of this stuff.

Bottle drunk 4/23. Dark brown maroon hughlights. Lacing type head. Aroma of coco, chocolate,maple syrup, and dark fruits. The taste was the same with bitter sweet notes. Chocolatey finish. Become oily on the palte as it warms.

Either I got a really, really bad bottle of this stuff or these guys just can’t make beer. An aroma of urine, soap, charcoal and coffee. Appearance was pitch black. Mouthfeel was watery. Flavor were soapy, sewer-like wet charcoal with some underlying roast character. Just an awful beer.

Dark brown color with a slight coffee nose. Heavy flavor typical of stouts with a roasted coffee character.

Brownish color with a slight tan head. Smells like a dirty urinal. Very astrigent and sharp. Judging by the other ratings maybe this is a bad bottle. if I ever see this again I hope to rerate.

Found this one bottled in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Beautiful pour, pronounced bitter chocolate nose, extrordinarily bitter throughout. A bit alcoholic in the end but still excellent.

12 oz bottle via trade with Jason. Pours a very dark brown color, hovering on black, with a rather large brownish beige frosty head. Aroma of dutch chocolate, roasted malts and faint molasses. Taste is slightly sweet yet smooth dutch chocolate flavor with hints of creamy milk chocolate and slight roasted malts. Very creamy and smooth. Excellent !!

Picked up single bottle from Blue Max in Burnsville, MN. Pours a dark cola brown brew with a thick and heavy tan head. Head leaved a mild lacing. Aroma has coffee, milk chocolate, walnuts and a touch of molasses. Flavor is dark dutch coffee, some chocolate, and roasted malt. Palate is sticky and thick. Finish is smooth and then a bitter aftertaste. The flavor has to me one of the most "Sybil" (ie: multi personalities) Imperial Stouts I’ve encountered.
