4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20750 mL bottle from Knightly Spirits in Orlando, FL. Pours black like used motor oil with the darkest brown head I think I have ever seen on an Imperial Stout. Aroma of dark chocolate, smoke, and dark fruit. Rich roasted malt flavor with big smokiness, big roasted coffee, some milky chocolate, and just a hint of tart dark fruit (maybe cherry or blueberry). The mouthfeel is thick and there is some alcohol warming. Yet another fantastic Imperial Stout from Cigar City.

2013 bottle. Sampled this immediately after a Huna which I did not enjoy. Both had an olive flavor which was very strange.
