Dec 10, 2006 22oz bottle. A good buy for 3 bucks. Elysian is a solid choice, I’d get this beer again.

Dec 9, 2006 Dark pretty beer that has a promising look during the pour.
The nose is promising as well, not overpowering but does that hey I’m here and I’m going to taste damn good dance in your nose.
Fluffy darker head that slips away and the first swallow is a winner. Makes me think duh, why haven’t I tried this before. It’s terrible when we missout on tasty beers just because they are easily availible. I’m kicking myself over this one. Wow...tasty and well worth it.

Dec 9, 2006 Dark brown/black body, creamy brown head.
Aroma has roasted malts, blah blah blah. It’s a nice aroma for an imperial stout to have.
Nice creamy thick body. Pretty basic but luscious imperial stout flavors. Subtle piney hop hints similar to original Dark Lord, Batch 7000 and Smuttynose.
Elysian seems to put together some good stuff.

Dec 6, 2006 22 oz bomber courtesy of Footbalm. Pours a black cola color with a thick lacy brownish tan head. Aroma is chocolaty with hints of malt and oats. Taste is of baker’s chocolate with barley and oat overtones as well as malt. Very good.

Nov 28, 2006 Poured black with a gold rim and thin tan head. The aroma was of sweet coffee and roasted malt. In the background laid some chocolate. The flavor however started with chocolate. Coffee was found in the middle and the finish was mostly roasted malt. Sweet middle and a medium body.

Nov 22, 2006 Bottle. Deep dark black with a thin mocha head. Inky aroma - citrus hops, chocolate chalkiness, and green pine. Big, chewy, and oily body. Lots of alcohol, green resiny hops, toffee, and breadiness. Sharp, pleasant mouthfeel.

Nov 22, 2006 Bomber. Pours an opaque black with a huge and lacy brown head. Aroma of molasses, coffee and nuts. Full, oily body with minimal carbonation. The first taste is sweet, but the bitterness creeps up on you bit by bit... sort of like my ex. Plenty of flavor with molasses, coffee, chocolate, smoke, vanilla, figs, nuts. Great stuff!
