msante79 (778), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Dec 12, 2008 12oz bottle poured into snifter. Pours black with small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and chocolate with coffee and molasses notes. Flavor is full of roasted malt and chocolate with some light coffee notes. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Very well made chocolate imperial stout. Easy to drink and hides alcohol well. GodOfThunder (855), Orlando, Florida, USA Dec 10, 2008 2008 bottle. Pours black with a typical stout aroma. Taste is full of chocolate and coffee, but not really anything special. Some bitter hop notes in there, too. I honestly think this will get better with age, though. But, for now, it is just a solid stout and no more. Travlr (695), Washington, Washington DC, USA Dec 9, 2008 Thick, syrupy, dark, smoky bitter chocolate stout. Drinks to its strength. hallinghansen (263), Odense SV, Denmark Dec 7, 2008 Updated: Apr 5, 2009Bottle. Black body with a large brown head. Coffee and chocolate taste. Aroma is also lots of coffee and chocolate. Absolutely a nice imperial stout. cloudstrife (50), Rochester, New York, USA Dec 6, 2008 12oz bottle poured into glass. Dark as night with a thick tan brown that starts off frothy and dissipates to the edge. Aroma of chocolate malts and coffee. Flavor is not as strong of chocolate as I had hoped, was thinking of Southern Tiers version. Hides the 10 percent quite well. Very full body, creamy texture and not much carbonation. Overall a very good deal for what you get. 7 something for a 6 pack of 10 percent abv fine beer. Has some room for improvement but still a very fine beer. puggy211 (576), cordova, Tennessee, USA Dec 6, 2008 The beer pours black as any I’ve ever seen with a head that reminds me of frothy chocolate milk, Coffee, malt, and chocolate dominate the nose and the palate. 10.6% alcohol and I did not even notice, because it is beautifully integrated. Wonderful. LordBeamish (144), Boozetown, Ontario, Canada Dec 5, 2008 Very nice with hints of coffee and coffee. Almost on par with a Youngs Double Chocolate Stout. Yummy. drfabulous (1212), Columbia, Missouri, USA Dec 5, 2008 Pours really creamy and light brown. Like brown sugar. Nice coffee aroma. Solid taste. Dark stout with coffee and roast. Little tartness lingers. Very nice.
