Pours a pitch black with a small beige head. Aroma is very sweet dark fruit, licorice and chocolate. Flavor is the same but more nutty with a good malt backbone and decent bitterness to balance it all out. Medium body, oily texture. Finishes initlally dry but then has a sweeter after taste that hangs around a while.

A big and reach beer with some mixed blessings; thin in body and very light on carbonation (even for an Imperial Stout), but with some nice flavor and drinkability. Pretty good. Color is (of course) black. Body is a bit thin. Carbonation is virtually non-existent; it looked like a glass of wine when I poured it into a tulip. Aroma was surprisingly robust to me given the thinness of body; it smelled to me a lot like bourbon. Flavor was definitely not bourbon-y; roasty with a lot of fruit notes that reminded me of raisins. Pretty good. I would recommend this. Very liquor/spirit like.

Just maybe the most interesting Stout i have yet to taste. The smooth vinilla taste and velvet like feel sets it appart. Subtle brown sugar ans wood hints.

Bottle probably 2 years old. Pours black with a tan head. Nose is full of chocolate which I quite like. Taste is sweet and light and overall pretty nice, if not a bit too sweet.

Pours dark brownish black with thick lacy head. Heavy chocolate and brown sugar aroma... very sweet flavor but a bit light bodied for a stout.
