Dec 12, 2005 Poured dark black with a foamy head and good lacing. Aroma was roasted chocolate that was quite nice. I was expecting a bit more out of the taste but, it was good overall.

Dec 11, 2005 Bottle at Rich’s YeHa 05. Chocolate, roasty aroma with some mild booziness present in the nose. Almost a chalk-dust aroma present as well. Opaque, dark-brown color with a nice frothy yellowish tan head. Extremely roasty and chocolate-like to start. Finishes very dry and very roasty. Pretty unbalanced and straight-forward with all the roastiness. Lacks complexity.

Dec 10, 2005 Bottles from Kevin and Styles
Pours a deep brown with a head that forms after the fact. Aroma is a strong strawberry and alcohol scent. Flavor is a bit of orange/grapefruit, followed by bitter roasted malt. A bit of pine seems to be poking its head out as well. A lingering sweetness is evident in the finish. Palate satifsfies. Good beer.

Dec 9, 2005 Sampled at Argo and Kathy’s ’06 Holiday Gathering. Pours a deep black with a light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, fruitiness and green hops. Flavor is very full and massive; notes of chocolate, coffee, plum, raisin, a ton of bitter roastiness and piney hops. Pleasantly sweet but as just mentioned, plenty bitterness. Has a prominent alcohol presence. Full, round and creamy on the palate with lively carbonation. Very nice.

Dec 8, 2005 Extra thick pour. Solid black with a thin brown head. Big fruity aroma with leather, chocolate, alcohol and sherry. Very sweet. Acrid black barley flavor with resinous and herbal hops. A bit chalky. Long bitter alcohol burn in the finish. Nice. Wish I had a case to lay down cause this one would do better in time.

Dec 8, 2005 The first of my Secret Santa brews. 12 oz bottle thanks to that jolly fellow. Dark Dark pour with a dark brown head that remained in ring form to the end. Aromas of dark cherry and chocolate. Flavors were outstanding chocolate, mocha, molassas, toffee, more dark fruit, and a great hop finish. A wonderful Imperial Stout.
