DuffMan (2139), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Oct 22, 2008 GABF 2008. Oily black pour, thick brown head. Densley malty, rich roast, burnt toast, vegemite, long & strong bitter finish. badnewsbeers (982), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Jul 5, 2008 had this at the third annual MBG winter beer festival...the numbers are reflective of the sampling, however i added no notes. my apologies. Silphium (2050), Lansing, Michigan, USA Feb 28, 2008 2008 MBG Winter Beer Fest. More complex than the Walldorff Imperial Stout I sampled prior to trying this beer, but also a bit rougher around the edges. Good complexity with chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, and dark fruit/prune tones, even a hint of bubblegum. Sticky. lampeno420 (267), Zeeland, Michigan, USA Feb 24, 2008 Sampled at MWBF 2008. Decent coffee scent with what looks to be a nice thick pour. A little on the sweet side, but without enough roast i thought. Good, not the best. CaptainCougar (4687), Rockville, Maryland, USA Dec 16, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GABF: Pours an oily opaque with a wispy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of sweet molasses, licorice and some citrusy hops with dark chocolate. Body starts sticky and earthy with some dark malty and plum complexity with a sticky, doughy finish. Oatmeal palate has good sweetness and balance.
