22oz bomber from the 2005 vintage tasted at my first imperial stout tasting. Pours a flat, watery black with very low carbonation and a thin white head. Aroma of vanilla, oak and brown sugar. Flavors are the same with some nuttiness, a touch of coffee, some toast and a bit of dark chocolate. Creamy on the tongue with a lot of heat from the alcohol dominating the palate. Looks like its aging alright.

Nov 29, 2008 On tap at the Avery tasting room, Nov 29, 2008. Poured black with a tan, diminishing head. Tasted roasted malts, raisins, and cherries. Finish was slightly bitter with a light lingering alcohol burn. This will taste much better with cellaring.

Nov 28, 2008 Pours a dark black with tan head. Dark fruit, chocolate, caramel malt, hints of coffee and smoky malt. Pretty typical IRS, Very tasty, but nothing that stands out for the style.

Nov 27, 2008 Tasting at Brewtopia. Finally I get to try this. A very nice stout indeed. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, molasses, dried fruit and some roastiness lead to a very nice beer on the tongue. It is a tad thin, but the flavors or chocolate, coffe and molasses are balanced well by a dose of hops. I liked this and will drink more.
