Dec 24, 2002 Updated: Mar 3, 2003Bottled, Dec 2002. Probably the foamiest, fizziest Imperial I've seen; nice head but a bit much; good dark color and creaminess. Roasted coffee and alcohol aroma, pleasant but not the greatest or most complex. I can really taste alcohol in this puppy; don't know the ABV but its certainly not masked as well as in some; also seems too roasty/bitter without much chocolatiness or sugars except at the very front when it starts out a bit milky. Good mouthfeel, if a bit too bitter. Rather a disappointment, but in all fairness I've had a bunch of killer Imp Stouts the last month; this is still a quality brew, it just lags a bit.
Mar 03: I find the body a little more interesting; it's less foamy, more assertive in the nose, creamier on the tongue. Good, not great, Imperial.

Aug 1, 2006 Pours motor oil black with a dark brown head. Aromas has hops up front with emphasis on spice - rich chocolate malt in the background. Taste starts hoppy (mix of spice and pine), creamy and light bits of chocolate malts, then the hops get even more prominant on the finish - very piney. A nice imperial stout.

May 18, 2005 Poured a dark black color with a huge but quickly disappearing head. Lots of lacing. Big roastted aroma. Chocolate, a little vinous, and alcohol. Flavor of roasted malt actually starts a little watery then finishes with a long bitter finish. Medium body overall. Warming sensation in the chest.

Dec 5, 2003 Bottle. Black color with a dark brown head on the outside and a creamy brown head in the middle. An intense chocolate aroma that begs to be had. Sweet, sticky, full bodied on the palate. Malty with chocolate, pepper and dried fruits in the flavor. Thanks to hopsrus for the trade.

May 16, 2004 full dark tan head atop burnt brown...acidic chocolate, raisin, port, & faint vanilla with an essence of alcohol...Roasty, coffee-ish flavors, not exactly imperial thick though, but a oily mouthfeel..heated alcohol, some subtle vanilla, still a bit thin for my tastes.

Jan 14, 2003 Updated: Jan 11, 200512 oz bottle: Fluffy, tight bubbled dark brown head that grows right out of the glass. As this foam dies, it leaves behind a thick tan lace, with increased buildup at the edge of opaque, black body. Nutty, brown sugar roasted aroma with some deep mocha notes and a touch of carbon…creamy palate is missing the more vinous notes, but does have a degree of mushed dark plums that blends nicely with charred wood, cocoa and an earthy bitterness. Just short of great.

Jan 17, 2005 A pitch black beer with a disappearing dark brown head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet with notes of chocolate and roasted malt.
