Aug 16, 2008 (USA) Pours a sweet black color with a large tan head. The aroma is very malty with chocolate, coffee, and a hint of molasses. The taste is kind of bitter with some roasted malts, dark fruits, and some hops. The mouthfeel does have a bite to it, so get ready !!!! Overall, I think this is a very good imperial porter.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours black brown, fluffy tan head. Aroma is chewy with hints of anise and rum. Flavor is chewy with pine, roasted nuts, chocolate, molasses, anise, and a slight port/rum burn that you can feel in your chest.. This has a nice bitterness to it but I feel that the alcohol is not blended enough. I guess I shouldn’t complain, but I’m going to anyway.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle, 2007. Pours black with a pretty thick dark tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast, rich sweet malt, chocolate, and alcohol. Flavor of rich sweet malt, slight roasted malt, dark fruits, and slight citrusy hops. Quite sweet. Very good beer! I wonder if it would be better fresh where you can really get a nice interplay betweeen the sweet malt and citrusy hops? Either way, this is a winner.

Aug 13, 2008 poured dark with a light brown head that didn’t last very long. Aroma was very nice. Taste is bitter (but a good bitter) and has a nice aftertaste that stayed with me. I would drink this again for sure.
