May 2, 2008 Poured an opaque black color with a medium sized, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, light smoke, dark fruits, nuts, and wood. Taste was chocolate up front, with roast, more smoke, light anise, light caramel, nuts, and a lower alcohol presence. Thanks Josh!

May 9, 2008 750 ml bottle from BevMo LaJolla. Pours thick brown, opaque with slight hints of ruby when held to light and a foamy tan head. Rich aroma of roasty malts, molasses, bakers chocolate, alcohol, hints of soy sauce, along with floral and herbal notes. Flavor is also rich and roasty, more of the dark, bitter chocolate and molasses, warming alcohol, fudge sauce and a little astringent herbiness in the finish. Full body, smooth on the tongue with mild carbonation.

Black color. Very solid brew, strong body, good chocolate flavor (the aroma is simpler), sweet enough, touch of roasted malt, good hopping, strong bitterness and pleasant warming alcohol; powerful. The final has also some roasted nuts Very good.

Jun 28, 2008 Pours a nearly opaque black with a stringy-lacing tan head. Aroma of sweet sugary dark caramel and chocolate with some plum character. Body starts with good thickness and sweet sticky dark malts with plenty of dark chocolatey notes. Finishes silky smooth with some warmth and lingering dark chocolate character. A pretty good imperial porter that should age well.

Jun 28, 2008 Poured brown with a tan head. The flavor was fairly roasty with nice chocolate notes. The flavor was smooth with the alcohol mostly hidden other than the warmth. Nice roasted aroma. Medium body.
