22 oz bottle. Poured a solid black color with a huge brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, bitter chocolate and alcohol. Flavor was very roasty, with coffee and chocolate tastes. Full bodied with light carbonation. Good beer, but doesn’t rank up there with the big boys.

Courtesy of After4ever, thanks my friend. It’s a pitch black impy with a light brown, creamy head. The aroma has notes of hard roasted malt, chocolate and preserved dark fruits. The flavour has notes of chocolate, dark fruits, roasted malt, licorice and a slightly burnt bitterness. The body is quite full, and it becomes even fuller towards the end.

Bottle. Nose is roasty with oak, chocolate, and alcohol notes. Dark, near black with a ruby tint. Inky texture and bubbly lacing head. Opens with chocolate and light fruit, finishes dry and boozy. Alcohol is harsh and unbalanced, especially towards the end.

Bomber. Nearly black pour with an off-white head that didn’t last long. Not much lacing. Aroma of chocolate, brandy and black cherry. Flavor of dark, roasted malt, plum, and chocolate. Just enough hops to balance the flavor. Easy drinkng for a beer of 9.5%. Excellent.

Nearly black pour, nice brown head lasting the entirety of the brew. Mocha, roast coffee/espresso, malt and alcohol nose. Very smooth mouthfeel, some small tingely bubbles, quite thick. Roated malt and chocolate hints. Some coffee bitterness on the finish and some warming alcohol. IMO excellent, not a slap you in the face imperial, but very drinkable. Reminded me more of a sweet stout, other than the alcohol.
