Really good, well balanced big stout. Lots of chocolate, coffee, and hazelnut. Goes down really smooth, particularly the finish. Drinks way too easy for the abv, and tastes great.

Solid impy stout here, coffee, caramel, cocoa, roasted barley, it is a bit thin though.

On tap at Mellow Mushroom. Looks gorgeous, black with a 1/2" head. Nice aroma of chocolate malt, hops and toffee. Taste is similar, with big chocolate, nice smooth malt, significant hop taste. Palate is very nice, a bit sweet, but has a lot of hops to balance it out. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle thanks to Mike. Pours a deep brown/black with the decent sized tan head. Aroma of chocolate malts and alcohol. I was expecting more chocolate though. Has the bitterness of black coffee/ dark chocolate. No sweet chocolate here. Thick mouth feel. Tan lacing paints the side of the glass as I finish up. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at Churchkey 3/27/2013. Pours opaque black. Aroma of coffee, dark fruit. Nice amount of chocolate, coffee, full of flavor. Really tasty.

From tap. Pours a deep brown color with a small tan head. Aroma was all chocolate and sweet coffee. Taste was deep chocolate and smooth with a deep mouth feel. Not heavy but very enjoyable. Silky.

Bottle split three ways and poured into a Bruery snifter. Got a whiff from the bottle quickly before being poured out. Roasted malts, some fruit flavors a touch of soy. Pours opaque with a hint of ruby color. Not picking up much chocolate but the beer has some semi-sweet malt, dark fruits, roast a faint of cocoa powder. Taste is pretty much the same with un-exciting chocolate flavors and a thin mouth feel. In my opinion this beer doesn’t look up to the hype, but who knows, maybe I had a bad bottle or it was stored incorrectly. Finish is chalky, semi-sweet, no alcohol notes or some bitterness. Cool to try, but I don’t think I would try and trade for this in the future.

Incredible black pour, medium sized dark brown head. Intoxicating aroma of bitter chocolate, espresso, molasses, and some incredible charred malts. The mouthfeel is silky smooth, and a perfect viscousness i come to expect in a top shelf impy. The finish has a light, dark fruit maltiness with a huge bitter kick. The espresso and chocolate wash over and dominate till the end. The alcohol is nowhere to be found. I could sip this all night. World class.

Earthy fugal nose. Immediate slate and petrol up front smooths over a few sips to the chocolate in the namesake and moreso cocoa notes. Feels like it could use a little age or maybe even just come down in temp a bit to open up, but still amazing! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Incredibly delicious and not too thick but still very sweet. The color is an awesome caramel. I will definitely drink this again if I find it on tap
