I think this is the Imperial Stout I had at the Gettysburg location on February 20, 2010. I thought it was labaled as "Russian Imperial Stout". But anyway, it was on tap, and when served it had almost no head to speak of. Pitch black with a roasty, toasty, chocolaty nose. Velvety mouthfeel. Lots of coffee, chocolote and roasted barley taste. Great stuff. Only had one - if I’d had two, I wouldn’t have been able to drive. No idea what the abv is, but it’s up there. Very enjoyable on a cold day.

A fairly good stout, that pours black with almost no head. The aroma is roasty and malty with hints of chocolate, and the flavor follows suit. The biggest thing about this beer is the lack of carbonation, it was very flat when I had it on draught at the brewery, this detracts from the appearance and the palate as well. Otherwise, it is a decent imperial stout.
