Vas19 (293), Maryland, USA Mar 22, 2008 Pours black with brown head. Chocolate and alcohol on the nose. Flavor is chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. Ends with a bittersweet chocolate flavor. Taste lingers for a while. Nice stout. DocHop (278), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Mar 22, 2008 Delicious chocolate aroma with underlying coffee and roasted malt aromas. Pours a dark black with a small tan head. Delicious sweet chocolaty taste at first that lasts throughout with minor notes of coffee and roasted malts. Very smooth combination of flavors. This is the chocolatiest beer I’ve ever had!! Fantastic. hellbilly (1492), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Mar 21, 2008 07/08 bottle from ucusty... viscous impenetrable dark brown pour with a creamy brown head and light drippy lacing. sweet malty aroma with cocoa and dark dried fruit. sweet palate (not obscene though) with flavors of chocolate cream (big time), roastiness, dry astringency, sourness late and alcohol as it warms. light bitter finish with ashiness lingering in the aftertaste. medium body with a nice soft texture... RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Mar 17, 2008 Pours pitch black with a dark tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roast, and alcohol. Strong chocolate flavores descend into cofee and finish with a big bitter finish. Pretty thick mouthfeel.Has a bit more chocolate charecter than your typical Imperial stount, but not tons. A big and very good beer. SQNfan (591), Wheaton, Illinois, USA Mar 16, 2008 On tap at Hopcat. The aromas were on the sweet side with chocolate and coffee. It had nice richness and balance in the mouth but just didn’t stand up to the KBS & Expedition drank today. JesseM (660), Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Mar 15, 2008 Updated: Mar 16, 200812 oz. bottle shared with Matt7215, RyanMac13. Pours the beautiful, full dark brown viscous liquid I was hoping for. Nice! Aroma: A little subdued actually, not much hint of what is to come. Flavour: MASSIVE sweetness, crazy chocolate, but also big anise, plum and soy souce come through. Not really subtle AT ALL! Big and assertive, I like it. Great thick mouth-feel. Glad I could have a chance to try this one, although it’s not really my favourite Imperial Stout I’ve tried so far. Still great stuff though. Frauditor (148), Hagerstown, Maryland, USA Mar 15, 2008 Bottle. well here it is, #100. and what a great beer to mark the occassion. pours black with almost no head. smells sweet and alcohol. tastes are chocolate, bitter, vanilla flavored coffee. Alcohol seeps through each tasting but not enough to be bothersome. SoBloHero (56), Buffalo, New York, USA Mar 14, 2008 Pours a very nice consistent black color. A definate mix of chocolate with coffee in the smell. Pretty sweet for a stout, wasnt expecting it to be that blunt. A great aftertaste that makes you want more.
