Dec 31, 2008 Rich roasted aroma. Thick, but not as thick as might be expected for the style. It doesn’t seem as heavy as, say, Old Rasputin. Very noticeable alcohol presence asserts itself midway. Has all the rich, creamy, roasted stuff going on as you might expect, but not as much as most chocolate or Imperial stouts.

Dec 30, 2008 A thick, dark pour with the viscosity of motor oil. A deep and delicious coffee aroma with multiple complex notes. In the mouth the texture was rich, but truly lacked definition. I wasn’t sure where the wonderful coffee or chocloate aroma went. The finish was incredibly disappointing. This beer, which seemingly had been given so much attention from the folks at BB, left me thoroughly disappointed. For this style of beer, this is remarkably unremarkable. After drinking the entire 6-pack I can say that this is definitely not a 4.0+ beer.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle courtesy of my Secret Santa. Pours black with a frothy brown head. Smells predominantly of roasted coffee. Tastes of toasted malts, dark cocoa, ash, slight raisin, and faint vanilla. Permeates alcohol as it warms. Well balanced and highly drinkable.

Dec 29, 2008 Pours an opaque sable with a thick, fine-bubbled, fairly persistent tan head. Strong aroma is good and "stouty" - smoky and coffee-like with chocolate hints. Rich flavor definitely gets one’s attention, mainly of roast coffee with hints of unsweetened chocolate and smoky hops. Finish is smooth, smoky and chocolaty. Very pleasing.

Dec 28, 2008 bottle from liquorloft tallahassee. smooth in texture, filled with roast and coffee flavors. the dark chocolate gets lost behind the roast which is a little disappointing but still an awesome stout.
