4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Finally got to this one...aged about a year. Pours dark, almost no carbonation, no head. Very dark, opaque. Nose is roasty malt and coffee. Palate is huge coffee, chocolate, very thick and very smooth. Finish lingers and is slightly bitter, but most of the hops were gone in this one. Very rich and satisfying.

750ml bottle. WOW! Pours black with a bubbly tan head. Taste off strong coffee, dark chocolate, and malt. Tremendous velvety mouth feel combined with a lasting finish. Incredibly crafted imperial stout!!

Black beer with a short tan/brown head less than a quarter inch. Aroma strongly of coffee, and dark chocolate .Sweet start with coffee spice. Chocolate notes on the finish. A nice big stout with some bold flavor.
4.5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pour is pitch black with no light getting through at all, topped off by a nice khaki head. Huge amounts of coffee and milk chocolate in the aroma with just a hint of alcohol. The taste has a nice bitterness from the coffee beans, balanced really well with the sweetness of the chocolate. You pick up absolutely none of the alcohol until you’re done and attempt to stand up. This is so luxurious, silky and smooth.

Pours a dark black with a few fingers worth of head. Smells like fresh pressed coffee and malty. Taste is of coffee and malt along with a clean rich chocolate. It is also really sweet. Very nice RIS but the Barrel aged version just knocked this out of the park
