Black. Big nose - roasty, woody, burnt fruits. Lots of roast, smooth malts. Good stout, but not living up to the hype IMO (and Radek's).

(750ml bottle) Pours a black body with a medium tan head. Aroma of caramel, raisins, chocolate, light roastiness, some oxidation, and wood. Flavor of raisins, soy sauce, caramel, chocolate, and plum.

Bottle at Borefts 2011. Fish washington state poseidon imp stout. Touch of oxydation. But hugely intense some soy sauce touch if sherbert. Ok but it was better first sip. Bit too much all over the place as went on. Soy sauce. Ok 3.2

(Nov. 2002) Black, slightly oily with small brown head. Aroma is mild sweet, some wood, vinous, some chocolate, light vinegar. Taste is mild sweet, vinous, cherry, chocolate. Medium-full body. Good beer, but not a Top 50 in my bood -- I like my cask-aged beers to demonstrate more characteristics of the underlying beer -- this one has too much wine and too little imperial stout.

Posiden 04 RBWG@RLRL-thanks to growler-750ml bottle– pours a light brown ring and brown color that sheets the glass. Aroma is earthy, funky. Taste is earthy, dark malt-roasty, dark fruit, oak. Soft carbonation.
