UPDATED: SEP 24, 2011 Bought in Eugene and opened the 12 oz in san diego into Pint glass. Looks pure black. Light brown thinish head. Smells like super chocolate. tastes like a bunch of chocolate with a bit of bittersweetness kinda like dark chocolate. pretty thick on the palate also kinda crisp on the tongue. Overall 8.5 of 10. Very tasty beer!
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle @ bros house. Brown/black appearance with a tan head. Roasty, anise, dark chocolate malty nose. Quite strong, roasty, charred, black licorice, chocolate malty flavor. Too much char and licorice for me.
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Kind of nauseating to be quite honest. I don’t know why, but I am not enjoying this beer at all. Sad day apparently.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Strong, smoky aroma has tones of chocolate and molasses with coffee, nutty and licorice hints. It pours a dark chocolate brown with a fairly thick and fine-bubbled light tan head. Semi-sweet chocolate dominates the smoky flavor, which includes molasses, caramel and nutty hints. Texture is quite smooth and pleasing, not very fizzy but still good. Look for this one!

12 oz bottle into snifter. This bottle reads 7.5% ABV. Pours completely black with a medium beige head that recedes slowly. Has aromas of chocolate, caramel, toffee and raisins; smells a bit like a cinnamon roll. Taste is half sweet and half bitter. Almost reminiscent of Samuel Smith’s Imperial Stout. Carbonation is medium, body is full; leaves a lingering bitter finish. I am completely blown away by this. I really wasn’t expecting much. A nice surprise!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle- Pours almost black with red highlights and a thin tan head, lacework is good. The aroma is dark roasted malts, a little chocolate, maybe some molasses. The taste is rich roasted malts, creamy, chocolate and molasses. The body is medium, a little thin for the style, carbonation is low, but that’s not a bad thing, relatively normal for the style. Overall obviously I have had better impy stouts, but this is better than I was expecting.
