Sep 26, 2004 I love this beer. Its two of my favorite things: beer and coffee. Its like mixing the two just right. Black as night and dark as my soul. Love it.

May 22, 2002 As dark as they get, huge chocolate brown head, sheets of lace that last to the very end. Nose Coffee, choclate, malt, sweet and quite a pleasure to quaff. Front is sweet, the top full, creamy, the finish hop bitter, dry, lightly acidic. The 12 percent ABV, will definately 'Warm' your 'Tummy', 'World Class', and another 'Magnificent Beer' from a World Class Brewery, Thanks to the 'Master Brewer', Skip Virgilio, for another great beer.

Dec 12, 2003 Holy crap! Many thanks to Hi-time wine's new online ordering system and speedy delivery - this beer is amazing - completely opaque, slight dark tan head - heavy, thick, aroma of dark coffee, molassas and caramel - extraordinarily chewy body, thick mouthfeel - amazing and complex flavor - slightly sweet at first, then some intense bitter-sweet chocolate and lots (and I mean LOTS) of coffee - hop bitterness creeps its way in - very well hidden alcohol content, and the bitterness balances out the initial sweetness very well, keeping it from being cloying, which is often the downfall of such hig alcohol brews - this is imperial stout heaven - equal to expedition stout in my mind, perhaps even better. I have to give it a 5, regardless of its almost complete lack of head. It's just that good.

Aug 12, 2007 Thanks to kujo9 for this bottle! Fresh chocolate aroma with a burnt toffee within. Taste is a smooth milky complexion with a dark chocolate finish. Bitterness overall. Fantastic.
