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.

06 bottle. Black as a.. uhm, with one of the darkest heads ive seen on a brew. Extremely smooth mouthfeel on such a fat bodied beer. Aroma and taste is awsome with both dark and light milk-chocolate, molasses, caramelly fudge stuff, berries, some fine port character and a fully, strong roasted finish. Pretty damn good. Thanks to Jimmack who brought me this when I visited NJ, such a nice guy! thanks a bunch!

Black with dark carmel head. Deep coffee and pecan pie aroma. Thick like a coffee milkshake. A bit of sweet with well balanced hoppy bitterness that lingers for some time. The flavor was brighter than expected. Maybe the smoothest, most well balanced stout I have ever had.

Bottle. Black, redbrown head. Smell: Very complex... milk, vanilla, roasted tones (dark chocolate). Taste: Big taste! Vinous. Dark chocolate. Bitter aftertaste with some hops and burnt chocolate. Overall: Thick, full bodied. Very complex beer. I found new flavors and smells with every sip/sniff.

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Nice dark chocolate / black colour with dark brown head. Nose of roasted malts and chocolate. Taste of coffee, caramel, espresso and lots of chocolate. Very creamy and oily texture. Thick and velvet feel. Super -- a true delight.

Chocolate really stands out in this one, although I can taste many different flavors... some raisin, fig, molasses, caramel, coffee notes. A good filling dessert type beer. You can tell from the aroma that this is a complex beer. Thick motor oil consistency. Kind of coats your throat as it goes down. Nice!

Poured velvety black with a thick snowy chocolate head with sensuous lacing. Aroma is nutty, caramel, chocolate, maple, vanilla, brown sugar, port. Flavor is ridiculously chocolate malty, some roasted barley, caramel, toffee, vanilla, and coffee. The carbonation is slightl but does accentuate the oak finish. Otherwise the palate is velvet but not thick. One of my all time favorites!

12oz Bottle. Pours very dark. Medium dark brown head. Smells of hops, coffee and chocolate. Tastes of coffee among other things. The taste of the hops and alcohol barely come through on this one. I am enjoying it very much. Will def purchase again. ($16.99/6pk) Batch: 8864
