Jan 12, 2009 Dark, heady, full body with creamy, tannish head that leaves the glass coated in a fine lace when tipped. Chocolate and caramel flavors, mixed with espresso, that is sweet roasted flavor.

Jan 9, 2009 Updated: Apr 1, 2009A heavenly aroma of unadulterated stout bliss. Simply perfect. Chocolate, molasses and espresso-strength coffee. What else could you want? Full-bodied and chewy; creamy like a bowl of porridge. A hint of sweetness upfront, a trace of bitterness in back. A beer such as this truly could be a meal in itself, did it not have such a kick as well! It should be savored, yet I can’t help but suck it down... I love stouts, and this is the best.

Jan 8, 2009 12oz bottle. Pretty, deep pour with nice sheen and quickly dissipating off-white head. Nose is brilliant sweet malt, very reminisicent of the big Imps. Taste is much lighter and roasty, sweet touch and rather slick tasting. Very well done stout, probably the best ’pure’ non imp i’ve had. Worthy brother of the Expedition.

Jan 7, 2009 Pours jet black with a nice tan head and leaves very nice lacing... Not hugely aromatic, smells slightly of roasted malts, a bit sweet... Roasty for days with slight hints of bitter chocolate and a very subtle hint of coffee... The initial flavor blast subsides into an airy almost light finish with a bit of lingering roastiness... Medium to full bodied...

Jan 6, 2009 Bottle: Dark, dark brown with a long lasting tan head. Malty and mild chocolate aroma. Sweet and malty flavors with a hint of dark chocolate bitterness and cardboard. Smooth feel and easy to drink. It’s hard not to judge it against the fine Imperial Stout - Expedition. But, if I pretend I have never tasted Expedition, I would think this is a solid stout.

Jan 4, 2009 12 oz bottle. pours thick with a creamy yet firm head. The aromas are complex: heavy roasted malts combined with dark espresso roast; also, thicker oatmeal like aromas hidden underneath the cacao bean. thick, also rich in flavor. brown sugar and molasses as well as baking chocolate and a smooth yet bitter coffee finish. this is a tasty ale. as it warms, the alcohol still is well hidden, but the heavier than expected carbonation is revealed. all in all, it’s a damn good stout...one i would gladly imbibe on draft.

Jan 4, 2009 Pours black with light brown head. Burnt malt aroma. Burnt malt flavor with a hint of coffee. Full body with mild carbonation and a moderately bitter finish. Very nice.
