Dec 10, 2003 Sampled @ Strong Ale Fest San Diego<br /><br />
On the pour a pitch-black color with a massive chocolate brown head that was creamy in consistency and as it eroded a nice sheet of lace formed upon the glass. Nose is coffee, rich sweet chocolate; quite pleasing to the nose as well as the eye, front is rich chocolate sweet malt with the top full and rich. Finish is moderately acidic and the hops powerful but pleasing to the palate, bitter-sweet chocolate dry aftertaste, a nice drinking stout

Mar 13, 2004 This imperial stout pours with a black body topped by a medium thick, brown head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is slightly seet and malty yet bitter and roasty with slight licorice notes and a hint of chocolate. The flavor is bitter yet sweet, roasty and coffeeish one minute, then full of anise the next. The finish is chocolatey and roasty. Full bodied, smooth and warming.
