4.1 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured thick, black and oily iwth a medium sized creamy very dark brown head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was a marvelous blend of sweet toasty malts, chocolate syrup, berries and fig. The flavor was roasty with notes of Bakers chocolate, wood, smoke, berries and raisins. The finish was very long, dry, roasty and smoky. Thick, full and creamy body. Well done but drier than I would prefer.

UPDATED: MAY 15, 2012 Bottle pour into Sam Adams glass. Smells like malt and chocolate. Deep brown pour, almost black with a small amount of coffee brown foam head. Bitter almost charred/smokey flavor. Very thick presence. Bitter finish. Alcohol content evaporates and dries your mouth.

Bottle, from my MTH glass. Pours thick viscous black, thin tan head with spotty lacing. Nose is floral, with light herbal notes; big tar, smoke and mocha. Flavours of soft sweet molasses, light tar, very rich and chewy. a solid Imperial stout, I will have to revisit this after my bottles get a bit more age on them.
