Oct 8, 2009 12oz Bottle. Finally in Texas! Black with a nice-sized medium-brown head which diminishes to a little ring of foam at the rim of my glass. Big malty aroma, toasty and chocolaty. Flavor is... boozy! This is a fresh one, and it shows - I’ll be doing some cellaring... Rich smooth malt combines with chocolate, coffee, a bit of licorice. Pretty much everything I’d want from an imperial stout, except that it’s a little too boozy right now for me. Some cellaring of this one will do nicely, I think. Since I bought a 4-pack, I’ll revisit this one in no less than 6 months, I think. For now, things bode well. I’m very happy to have this beer available locally.

Oct 7, 2009 Black with a beautiful dark foam that disappears pretty quickly. I think the beer smells more coffee than chocolate.
The flavor is rich, strong and pleasant. Coffee, licorice, chocolate, fruits. Plesant bitterness.
Good but a little bit too alcoholic.

Oct 6, 2009 A million and one thanks to DAKNOLE for sorting me out this badbwoy. Totally out of the blue and greatly appreciated. Pour is thick and dark with a cola-colored head. Strong heavy bitterness strings together some very dark, heavy, and delicious chocolate. Some vanilla hints and dark fruits. Moist leather hints both in aroma and taste. Very chewy and has earthbound notes to it that work surprisingly well with the roasted malts. Well blended, equally balanced, and as good as the generosity from Daknole in sorting me this one.

Oct 4, 2009 Thanks again, Ucusty! Pours black with a disappearing dark brown head. The aroma is strong with chocolate and alcohol. The flavor is smooth and fruity up front with plums, prunes, and chocolate followed by a roasted finish. Pretty fruity and alcoholic.

Oct 1, 2009 Updated: Oct 2, 2009Bottle. Wicked beer! One of those I have tried several times and haven’t got around to rating. Pours pure black with tan head. Aroma is pure dark roasted coffee. Taste of espresso, dark bitter chocolate, low carbonation, smooth finish.

Sep 26, 2009 Poured black with a dark tan head. Aroma was sweet and carmelly. Slightly oily on the tongue. Rich chocolate taste with a touch of hop bitterness and a nice smoky undertone.
Excellent, and very much worth finding.

Sep 25, 2009 Pours thick, syrupy and black/brown. Aroma is alcoholic, malty, chocolate and coffee. Drinks incredibly thick and viscous, sticky like honey. Taste is coffee, malt, bitter cocoa, . Dark bitter chocolate comes through at the end and leaves a long bitter hot alcoholic finish. Complex and tasty, but the alcohol is a little over the top.
