Jan 26, 2009 Bottled. Pours inky black, with a dark brown, persistant head leaving a nice amount of lace on the glass. Nose is roasty, coffee, chocolate. Flavor is roasted, malty, coffee, bittersweet chocolate with a nicely hoppy finish ending in a hint of the alcohol behind all of the flavor.

Jan 25, 2009 Updated: Feb 1, 2009Rich and thick, leaving a tingling sensation in the tongue. Quite bitter, with coffee heavy in the smell and taste. Dark Chocolate also obvious, with an above average sweetness for a beer. The alcohol warms the throat but not overly present in taste. Very nice, although leaves sticky lips which was a bit uncomfortable. Awesome.

Jan 24, 2009 12ozer. Many vintages. Pour is black as night with small foamy head. Aromas of chocolate(go figure), roasted malt, and a tinge of alcohol. As this one ages it develops into an easy drinking beer. Flavor is much the same as the aroma. One of my favorite IS out there today.

Jan 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with thick brown head. Aroma is chocolate with hints of espresso and smoke. Flavor is robust, with raw cocoa and some sweeter chocolate notes in the finish. Little it of an alcohol bite as it warms. Overall a very good stout.

Jan 24, 2009 Updated: Feb 16, 2009The name says it all. Pours a deep deep black, little to no head. And the chocolate is big, but not too overwhelming and sweet. Solid and economical 6pck Imperial Stout.

Jan 23, 2009 Sampled during MN Gathering II and shared by MilkmanDan. From a 12-oz bottle (2003-04 vintage) pours an opaque dark brown brew with a creamy tan head that has some nice retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of dark chocolate, floral hops, some toasted dark malt and some tobacco. Taste is medium bodied, very little carbonation with flavors of dark chocolate, some dark pitted fruits, tobacco, and some alcohol presence. Finish remains a light tobacco and dark chocolate aftertaste that slowly disappears. The alcohol warmth has a nice finish.
