draft at Blue Monk, Buffalo. Deep dark black pour. pretty heavy roast in aroma, chocolate with light coffee notes, higher carbonation. Pretty heavy roasted malt presence, somewhat boozy, intensely flavored.Very good stout

Deep brown from the tap with a thick cream head. Aroma of caramel and chocolate. Caramel and black toast empower this beer. Good caramel and some dark fruit in the finish.

The aroma is very nutty and coffee like flavour . Lightly hopped beer for a imperial stout .excellent carbonation on the tongue . Outstanding .

Bottle courtesy of a trade with Rasmus40. Pours a deep reddish brown with no head. Very pleasant aroma that is filled with brown sugar syrup, dark fruit, malt, and chocolate liqueur. The flavor is quite lovely with brown sugar syrup, dark fruit, malt, mild toast, chocolate liqueur and a hint of molasses. Smooth and well-rounded on the palate with a slightly oily texture. I like the lack of carbonation in this beer; it drinks more like a fine red wine. For me, this beer seems more like a quad than an imperial stout, but regardless, it is a fine ale.

Clear very dark reddish brown with a big and lasting beige head. Aroma is sweet, malty, roasted malt, dried fruit, liquorice and spicy. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish. Oily. 110112

100th rate! Bottle. Pours very dark red/brown with a sizeable tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roast and boozy fruit. Taste is more of the same with a good amount of alcohol and a distinct bitter coffee finish. Very good.

Keg at Brauhaus. Dark brown to black. Medium creamy tan head. Coffee and smoke. Bitterness to finish. The good kind. Very nice.
