’02-’03, dark black color, short brown head, brussels lace, roasted malt aroma, chocolate, alcohol, strong fruit overtones – very nice; roasted malt and chocolate flavor, alcohol, sweet fruit, slightly bitter and burnt, salty, excellent texture, chewy-oily and rich; ’03-’04, thick syrupy dark black, medium brown head, lace, rich roasted malt aroma, fruits and chocolate, coffee, burnt, peppery, light hints of alcohol, aromas come together very nicely; rich roasted malt, chewy and alcoholic, fruity, chocolate and coffee, burnt with a bitter kick, salty, oily-rich texture – syrup, a meal, a winter treat

Chocolate all around - in the nose and in the taste. An espresso bitterness at the end balances the sweet front part of the strong, full taste profile. Beautiful - simply beautiful!

This one of my top 3 beers. Best example period of Imperial Stout you will ever find

Pitch Black color you cant see through this stuff at all! Very nice brown head. Bitter Sweet taste hints of Dark Chocolate and roasted coffee are present. Very strong imperial stour and I would reccomend this to any fan of RIS very good beer. But beware of the high alcohal content.

Had one last night out of my Brooklyn snifter. Everything here is perfect. The fluffy and fleeting head, the light obsorbing color, the rich and hoppy nose. Just a delight to drink. Complex aromas of bomber jacket, wet earth, and cocoa blend into a rich chocolaty mouthful that seems to be light on it’s feet for such a heavy beer. This is a what you should have with dessert, no port, no late-harvest riesling, no ice-wine. Do yourself a favour and have this instead of the milk with that next batch of brownies.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2007 One of my absolute favorites.....so well made - a true imperial stout in every way, robust deep dark chocolate malt flavor - well balanced, great use of hops....a craft beer made with love, cheers to Garrett and the gang in Brooklyn.

excellent stout, maybe the best i’ve ever tried good oil color, nice aroma it has it all when people ask me what it tatses like the only thing i can tell them is it’s like eating a chocolate cake

So rich and creamy.... It melts in my mouth. This is truly my favorite of chocolate stouts.

Courtesy of Kramer. Sure I’d find a fault if I could. Roasty and chocalate nose, and a rich chocolate taste to match. Quite a bit like Port Brewing Old Viscosity, except maybe a bit dryer finish (maybe the viscosity’s more of a port than a stout?). Anyways a superb dessert at the end of an historic night (MJ toast). Thanks Kramer!

For the past 2 years this beer has comeinto my life for a brief period puts a huge smile on my face and leaves this is by far my favorite beer on the planet. there is way too much i can say about this beer you have to try it for yourself to fully appriciate it. On top of the fact that this beer will get you looped if your looking for that
