Pours black as night with a very thin, toffee-colored head that dissipates quickly; conspicuous alcohol; somewhat dry but nice and robust mouthfeel; very clean smell; heavy on well-roasted malts and cofee in the flavor; like all great beers, its complexity comes out as it approaches room temperature; very good beer that really warms you up.

Let me point out that this beer sat open in Eric’s fridge for possibly days before I drank it. A forgotten soldier who deserves to be drank I say. Pours black with a tiny head. The aroma is light; chocolate and dark fruits. The taste really surprised me by having a great fruity hint that I love from Imperials. Also coffee, wood, and roasted malt flavors. I am really giving this beer respect for staying so good after being open for 3 days. I’ll try it again some day and re-rate.

bomber. Dark stout w/ light nose but heavy mouth of alcohol, butterscotch, and coffee. A good stout but a little basic.

650 ml. Deep ebony with a medium-sized creamy head that hangs. Aroma is chocolate and marshmallow creme, toned down nicely by some peppery coffee and charred wood. Vanilla cream soda on the front turns to some dried wood, hickory smoke, coffee, slight cumin, and some piquant acetic acidity. Sweet and char aftertaste is great. Medium-heavy, creamy body has a tingly dry finish. Very nice dessert.

Pours a rich oily black with a thin oragne head. Aroma is lots of roasted barley chocoalte and coffee with some anise and tar. More tar and harsh oily black malts in the flavor with more roast hints of smoke and burnt malts- harsh acrid black malt finish- tacky as well. A bit fusely and harsh. Not as good as expected.

22 oz bottle from Logan’s Pre-GABF party. Lots of dark brown head on this dark pour. Some roasty flavors, touches of coffee. Just Okay
