Nov 25, 2009 Tallahassee, Fl. - Liquor Loft - 22 oz bomber. Black as charcoal pour with some ruby red tints - zero visibility. Tight khaki head that dissipates quickly after the pour. Aroma is pleasant with some coffee, licorice and kahlua. Solid flavor with heavy doses of dark bakers unsweetened chocolate, licorice, burnt marshmallows, kahlua and coffee. finishes with a hint of chewing tobacco. Thick, sticky mouthfeel. Glad to see this brewer making their way into the sunshine state!

Nov 22, 2009 22 oz bomber. Dark oily black pour with an ultra thin chocolate brown head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and bread dough. Great full bodied taste of chocolate, roasted malts and a faint oatmeal finish. Great affordable and accessible winter treat.

Nov 21, 2009 Alvinne tasting. Pours near black, red hue under light. Toasted nose. Coffee, cereals, chocolate, soy sauce, nuts. But also hops noticeable. Very good silky creamy mouthfeel thanks to the oat used. Very tastebud saturating after a while. Very drinkable stout.

Nov 18, 2009 Average appearance for an Imperial. Head is very thin and doesn’t linger. Oily lacing. Taste is smooth with burnt maltiness. Palate is subtle at first with a slight hoppiness later. Taste doesn’t improve as the beer warms, instead the alcohol taste come out. A good beer but not my favorite Imperial. Aroma and after taste is the best part of this beer. Could session this beer but probably wouldn’t.

Nov 15, 2009 Bottle, as Hoppin’ Frog B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher Oatmeal-Imperial Stout, ABV 9.4%, at RBNAG 2009 in Vatlandsvåg. Pitch black colour, low brown head. Surprisingly moderate aroma of oats and roasted barley, notes of mild coffee, hints of chocolate. The flavour has loads of malty sweetness, verging on sickly, and loads of roasted barley too. Notes of coffee, hints of liquorice and dark chocolate. Slightly acidic finish. Not the best impy stout I’ve had.

Nov 15, 2009 4th July 2008. Smooth and silky. Biscuity and very mild cappucino. No bitterness, a hint of fig and a definite note of bubblegum. Unusual.

Nov 14, 2009 22oz bottle purchased last year at Fatheads in Pittsburgh. Pours a proper, rich deep black with a light brown head. Sweet caramel, candy, fruitiness and light chocolate in the nose. Has a bold level of roasted malt, a bit burnt/astrigent, actually. Next comes a boatload of sweet caramel/toffee, earthy hop character, with some fruity esters and a tinge of bubblegum. The takeaway is slightly burnt with a sweet end. Full to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A bit too sweet for my tastes.
