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

every years release is different. all that i’ve had have been very good. this is a very affordable, world-class brew. as it gets older, it changes and more goodness reveals itself. theres a little bite at the front end of the taste thats really nice, helping it taste less like its muddier counterparts, not better, not worse, just less muddy and helps it stand out from the crowd. read the other guys posts for taste or better yet, drink one and see.

Wonderful chocolate smell. Pours a nice thick head. Jet black. Taste is strong, but drinkability is high as the chocolate taste kicks in. Perhaps my favorite beer.

Love it! Cocoa, vanilla, heat! Jet black with low carb. Drink a few degrees below ambient and you will really taste the complexity! Old Rasputin is second to this and ol Raspy is great!

This is the best imperial stout I have tasted to date. Better than that is that this beer isn’t overly priced. This beer is highly recommended for any everyone who likes stouts or porters.

Absolutely fantastic beer. Alcoholic, but with a sweet aroma and taste. Raisins soaked in dark rum would be a good descriptor. I would love to have this from a N2 tap

This beer is like desert in a bottle! so yummy so dark so scrumptious! its like liquid goodness! I will for sure have this again and many more times to come!

Aroma = chocolate, coffee, roasty. Appearance = black. Taste= very sweet. Texture = thick, creamy. Finish is long.
