Jan 31, 2010 Bottle. Black pour with very little head. Aroma is heavy roasted malt, caramel malt, alchohol spice. Flavor is similar, with a little milky sweetness. There is a little alcohol burn in the finish like you get with hard alcohol, but it is light.

Jan 26, 2010 Bottle. 16.9 oz. Split with Vinny at Monk’s. Pours a colo black with a fizzy, thin, amber head. Nose is insane. Aroma of smoke, chesnut, coffee, cocoa, vanilla, and hints of toffee and caramel. Full body with a sticky, sauve punch. One of the best stouts I have ever tasted. Excellent.

Jan 22, 2010 Pours viscous inky black, with a medium brown head, some lacing. Opulent aromas of molasses, alcohol, toast, vanilla, and leather. Full body, creamy, hot, slightly chalky, lightly dry. Tastes of molasses, alcohol, coffee, and oak. The 17.5% ABV doesn’t mess around.

Jan 19, 2010 Bottle from Sam’s Clybourn (now Binny’s). Pours pitch black with a fizzy dark brown head. Nose is booze and burnt grain, anise & coffee. Boozy. On taste, tons of fusel alcohol, body is somewhat thin at first. Very burnt and very alcoholic. I dunno, I don’t get this one...

Jan 11, 2010 Thanks to my Honkeybra for this one. Even hot from the nose. Head went away in a instant. Lots of sweet dark fruits on the nose with some sharpie marker, burnt wood and the flavor. Incredibly intense and pretty damn good, but also overrated. Still glad I tried it.

Jan 10, 2010 500ml bottle from DK. Tasted up against DH1 and the Nogne Imp Stout, at the DH1 was the winner. Pours black with minimal head. Alcohol comes through on the nose, also some port, and chocolate. Taste of more chocolate, port. liquorice, molasses. Not nearly as smooth as the DH1, has a lingering bitter finish.
