Mar 24, 2009 Dégusté avec Pyrozoid et Agaguk. Let’s get ready to rumble! Apparence noir huileuse avec une belle petite mousse beige collante. Aromes de melasses, herbal, sallé un peu, chocolat noir intense, alcohol (Kahlua), cerise noire, noisette, toast... juste wow. Pis j’ai meme pas gouter encore. Ehhh WOW encore... Palait explosif sur tout les points... quoi dire?!?!... Alcool intense, superbe effervescence pour une biere de 18%. Gout de chocolat, porto, Cafe et poste gout de cigar cubain. J’avais sincerement peur d’avoir un style 120 minutes... mais mon dieu!... Incroyable imperial stout... dans mon top 5 pour sure!

Mar 23, 2009 Suprisingly bright looking for the style, close to black with a light brown head that basically just says FFFFff then goodbye leaving some legs. Aroma is more fruity and less roasted then expected, very inviting though. Taste is similar with a very well integrated alcohol flavour that warms the belly. Nice growing aftertaste with allot of vinous berry notes and dark chocolate.

Mar 21, 2009 Updated: Apr 24, 2009Bottle. Poured solid black almost no head. Aroma is of barley, molasses, dark fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is very sweet. Lots of yeast, malt, alcohol, and raisin. Very port like. Full bodied and extremely complex. Finish is quite sweet. Excellent!

Mar 14, 2009 Pours black with a little bit of light getting through, there is a nice light brown head. Very vinous aroma with a burst of alcohol and sweet malt. The beer engulfs the whole mouth with extraordinary maltiness. Surprisingly hidden alcohol.

Mar 14, 2009 After the debackle that was the 120 min IPA, i was worried that the same alcohol presence would dominate. Instead it is a good sipping beer with excellent molasses, licorice, coffee, and roasted flavors. I enjoyed it more than expected.

Mar 11, 2009 12 oz bottle via trade with daknole. Pours a jet black with a small beige head that quickly dissipated. The aroma is big and bold with lots of sweet, ripe dark fruits, roasted barley, molasses and a bit of alcohol. The flavor, like the aroma, is also big and bold, and similarly sweet ripe dark fruits are center stage followed by alcohol and finished by roasted malts. The mouthfeel is full and silky smooth. The finish is long and dry. Overall: A very tasty sipping stout. The alcohol was a bit distracting at times, but I still really thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks dakine.
