COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The darkest beer we make; this Imperial stout contains double the malt and five times the hops of our Kalamazoo stout and is perfect for cellaring as its complex character will evolve over time. Available October-March.

Pours a viscous black with light head that just seems to stick around. Faint nose of roasty coffee and dark chocolate flows into that first delightful sip: thick malty liquid coats your tongue and brings forth flavors of rich chocolate, a hint of coffee and the tingling of citrus fruits. Finish is long and strong and down to get the friction on. Perfectly balanced and a body that could make a black malt blush.

Nov. 2011. Bottle from Savvy1982 way back in February. Pours solid black. Tan head. Aromas of rich chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, burnt malts and dark chocolate. Taste is similar. Lots of mocha,burnt notes,chocolate and coffee. So smooth drinking, it’s dangerous.Bitter aftertaste. If I could buy this here, I’d be broke.

My favorite stout to date! Viscous enough to completely coat your entire mouth. Dark chocolate, black strap molasses, leather, coffee, toffee and vanilla creme pretty much sum up this brew. You don’t get the the heat either. Try it over some really good quality vanilla ice cream, I dare you to go back to rootbeer!
