Aug 7, 2008 This is a very dark pour with a quickly disipitating brown head. . The beer has a medium mouthfeel. Flavor is a dark chocolate and brown sugar. Not as overwhelming as some imperial stouts.

Aug 7, 2008 Well, this was good but not a 96 good. I did really like that it was only 8%. Sort of tired of huge ABV imp stouts that pretty much finish me for the night. Fruity nose and really roasty flavors. Not much head which was disappointing. Palate was a tad thin.

Aug 3, 2008 12oz bottle aged a little over a year in the closet. Pitch black color. Aroma is still roasty and pleasant. The taste is chocolaty and smooth, with a nice hop taste mid sip that fades again to cocoa water. The alcohol is very well covered by all thick malt profile. Creamier and more mellow than a typical Imperial Stout. Great beer.

Aug 1, 2008 Dark root beer brown, wth big dark brown head. Aroma is full of coffee, toffee, acidic and roasty. Palate is thin and a little fizzy. Bitterness ites the tongue first then opens to roasted malt, light coffee, slightly sweet, chocolate, and a little acidic bitterness. Flavor isnot as big as the beer looks. Finishes with a touch of bitterness, and goes down with a warming alcohol.

Jul 29, 2008 12oz bottle. dark pour with small to medium tan head. aroma of raisins, prunes, chocolate and molasses. the flavor follows form with dark fruits, roasted malts, caramel and brown sugar. nice balance with the bitter hop finish. coffee flavor seemed to come out as it warmed. the palate is thinner than most imp stouts I’ve had - not necessarily a negative, just different. good overall. K-7

Jul 29, 2008 12 oz. bottle - purchased at Oliver’s in Albany; pours creamy black with thin tan head; roasty, chocolate and alcohol obvious on the nose; drinks very strong and slight creamy body; a little on the thin side, but pretty damn good

Jul 28, 2008 12 oz. pours black with a tan head that dissipates leaving a bit o’ lace. aroma is cocoa and a bit of sweetness. mouthful is fruity with some nice complements of roasted malt and cocoa to follow. very simple and easy to drink.

Jul 27, 2008 motor oil black pour with very very small head and minimal lacing. definite strong notes of dark chocolate, along with coffee and some roasted malts. Flavor is disappointing, especially given the aroma. Nothing complex, very basic. Still good because it’s an impy, but a little tweaking could make this a whole lot better. still solid though.
