Jul 2, 2009 Bonus bottle from adrian910ss. Thanks Adrian. Pours a deep ruby brown red with no head. Nose is chocolate and malt. Flavors of chocolate, roasted malts, whiskey, and a slight hops bitterness. Mouth is full with a good amount of hotness. Enjoyable IRS!

Jun 6, 2009 12 oz bottle poured in a clear pint glass. Poured jet black with a very thin layer of off-white head that disappeared rather quickly. Nose is hops with a bit coffee bitter. Taste is hops and coffee. Not my favorite, but definitely worth a bottle. I don’t usually enjoy a beer with a high hop profile, but this one broke me from that.

May 19, 2009 Dark brown with a nice aroma of roast, chocolate, and sugar. Flavor of chocolate, roast, and hops with a nice mouthfeel. Nice, but could be a tad more flavorful for an impy.

Apr 17, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of yobdoog. Pours a murky, menacing pitch black color with a one finger tan, foamy head that settles quickly to nothing. Aroma is somewhat roasted, somewhat floral hoppy with notes of chocolate, brown sugar, slight notes of coffee and toffee. Flavor is roasted and malty with a fairly high hop profile. Notes of coffee, toffee, brown sugar, and molasses present as well. Generally medium body with a hoppy and bitter coffee finish. Think they overdid the hops a bit on this one.

Apr 13, 2009 Another great bottle from CaptainCougar. Thanks again Tom. Opaque dark brown color with hilites at the edges. The tan head went nowhere. Aromas of dark toasted malt and light treacle. Full bodied with smoothly creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark toast, mild treacle, and hop bitter. The soul drains away with the sugars. Finishes mildly sweet, darkly toasted bitter. It’s an extremely good ale.

Apr 13, 2009 Bottle from bhensonb. This opaque brown ale poured with a thin tan head and a coffee aroma. The flavor is a very mellow blend of roasted malt and hops with a creamy toffee finish. Lots of chocolate.
