UPDATED: JUN 14, 2010 Very dark with a foamy brown head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Deep, dark flavor that is roasted coffee, chocolate, malt, and of course beer. Not as strong as some imperial stouts, but not bad at all. Best at cellar temperature… not too cold, not too warm.

Looks like I will be going against the grain on this one. Shared by Jared of Bully’s Restaurant & Pub. It looks the part of an Imperial Stout, black, big brown head but that is where the similarities end. To start there was almost no nose at all, just a faint bit of vague roastedness. The flavor wasn’t much better with slight amounts of roast and a hint of dark fruit. Way overcarbonated with a thin, flimsy body. Not sweet or bitter, balanced at nothingness. Bland. Feels and tastes more like a dry stout. No hint of alcohol which I guess is something it has going for it. Sorry guys try again.

750 cc bottle from Craft Ale House. Pours onyx with very little translucence only at the very bottom of the glass, and a uniform 2-finger tan head with great lacing. Nose is great, a medley of dark patent malt, dark choc, hops, slight coffee, ovaltine, and prunes. Tastes dark malty, with figgy fruit, hops, medium palate heft, a tad watery, fairly complex, but make no mistake about it, although this one is very good, it couldn’t carry Dark Lord’s jock strap, if Dark Lord had junk and this beer had arms.
