Nov 29, 2008 This is one of the better stouts I’ve had, thanks to zythum for the trade! Pours black with a tan head and a little bit of retention. The aroma is mostly coffee, caramel, and molasses, also showing a mild scent of alcohol. The beer tastes creamy and roasty with espresso and a soft, sweet, bitter dark chocolate flavor. This is very well rounded and smooth. A very tasty, yet extremely easy drinking stout. The abv really doesn’t show here. Good one!

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of toasted, cereal and milk chocolate, moderate resin and dough for the hops and yeast, with hints of raisin and charcoal. Head is small, frothy/creamy, off-white with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is dark brown. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic then finishes lightly sweet and acidic, and moderately bitter. Palate is medium to full, creamy almost syrupy and has a soft carbonation. I loved the tastes and texture of this beer. definitely a well crafted Imperial Stout.

Nov 28, 2008 Pours a super black with a nice creamy tan head that fades into a thin layer on the top of this brew. creaminess/milkiness with light/hidden aromas of coffee and a drop of toffee. Coffee aroma becomes more prominent with every whiff. This is a nice hoppy stout. It has a good citrus hop flavor with some nice [milder] coffee notes. There are really good flavors of roasted malt, molasses, chocolate, light amounts of caramel and a fruity toffee ending. I nice slightly creamy stout with good flavors fill the mouth with yummy stout goodness. I like this stout enough to drink 2-4 glasses (1-2 bombers) to my head just about anytime. Remember this is a really good overall day to day stout. That’s right you can drink this everyday and feel good about it!

Nov 27, 2008 Brewed in the USA !!! Pours a wonderful black color with a monster tan head. Aroma of chocolate, molasses, roasted coffee, and licorice. The taste is of bitter chocolate, roasted malts, hops, and coffee. The mothfeel is spritzy at first and becomes very smooth and bitter at the finish. This was not very expensive and is definitely in my top 5 imperial stouts........... :)
