Jun 16, 2008 2001 bottle from Belmont Station (thanks Chris)--Deep brown body with some red tinges. No head. Flavor of a chocolate-malt wine or port. Wicked vinous. Sweet, boozy, complex. Lots of fruits and booze heat. Very interesting. Wouldn’t characterize this as an imperial stout, but ok!

Jun 10, 2008 I think this was shared by Notalush at Paul’s Hoboken gathering, thanks. Dark brown, just about black. Aroma- alot of molasses, chocolate, dark fruits- sherry, alcohol. Taste is chocolate, light roast, licorice, and alot of molasses sweetness, raisins/plums/sherry still somewhat boozy even after 6 years of aging. Very sweet, kind of cloying.

Jun 1, 2008 Updated: Jun 30, 2008Bottle. This is 6 years old. Black body with small tan head. Aroma is matly caramel, chocolate, creamy vanilla. Sweet with a moderated etoh presence. Still a very solid imperial stout and you have to give it credit for being so drinkable at 23% anyone who tells you you cant taste the booze is full of it though.

Apr 26, 2008 Bottle. Opaque, black motor oil coloring. No head. Grapes, pinot noir hints, tart. Flavorful explosion. Malty, sweet, floral notes. Complexity obvious as is the high alcohol exhale (I could light my breath with a lighter). Overpowering and worth every drop.
