An espresso bitterness at the end balances the sweet front part of the strong, full taste profile. Beautiful - simply beautiful! chuck99 (10), Brooklyn, New York, USA Jul 15, 2002 This one of my top 3 beers. Best example period of Imperial Stout you will ever find Bodomite (34), USA Dec 3, 2004 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. Bigsilky (322), Charleston, USA Mar 27, 2006 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. DeadGuyFrank (347), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA Oct 7, 2007 Updated: Nov 16, 2007One 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. whistlebird (22), USA Feb 4, 2006 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 tromboneman (17), USA Aug 12, 2006 So rich and creamy.... It melts in my mouth. This is truly my favorite of chocolate stouts.
