Feb 7, 2010 Unusual, rubber, peat, earth. Turns out to be a ton of licorice root. Medium sweetness. Relatively low roast levels. Unique for an imperial stout.

Jan 30, 2010 bottle, pours pitch black with a medium tan head. Aroma is oaky with lots of wood. Flavor is rich malt and earth notes. Strong bitter expresso in the finish. Crazy wierd.

Jan 30, 2010 Pours very dark, almost black....not much head. Rich aroma, can smell the oak/bourbon combo. Tastes of burnt coffee and licorice. Can taste the complex notes but still quite drinkable. Thumbs way up, nice!

Jan 30, 2010 Eminently sippable beast. Obsidian beer with a milk-chocolate brown head. Potent nose of chocolate, roast espresso, vanilla, bourbon. Roasty, well-rounded bitterness is firm but not resinous or sticky... harmonious with the light sweetness. Fulsome, supple flavor. Good body but not too thick. Drinkable enough to kill a bomber in a few hours on my own, and usually I can’t do that with this sort of beer.

Jan 29, 2010 2009 Reserve. Bomber via Stefanje the magnificent. Pours black with erupting tan head... woo hoo! Body is surprisingly medium. Milky slick and creamy with a gentle acrid malted bitterness supported with a nice oakyness. Spots of thin lacing. Gentle bourbon nose comes and goes. Great by the fire with a thick book. Presence of alcohol is unknown to the tongue. Props to the Santee connection!

Jan 28, 2010 Bottled, deepest black pour of any beer with equal thickness huge chocolate head, sweet roasted aroma with slight spice and rootbeer like quality, sweet malt up front with large roasted flavor finished by more sugary sweet taste and hop bitters, full bodied mouthfeel, yum.

Jan 24, 2010 very sweet aroma with hints of coffee and vanilla - dark, almost Guiness-like pour with thick brown head - strong flavor profile with coffee, toffee, licorice, brown sugar taste - leaves an excellent taste on the palate that lingers for a long time
