Black pour, faint beige head. Aroma is chocolate, straight hersheys. Flavor is dry, chocolate, some espresso. Hoppy aftertaste, citrus hops, creamy yet bitter. Bittersweet chocolate, some caramel and a bit more coffee. Dry mouthfeel, bitter coffee, hoppy and a little chalky aftertaste.It’s good but I’m glad I didn’t buy into the hype, nothing seperates this from other imperial stouts.

May 11, 2008 Bottle 309/500 brought to Pauls 1HG. Pours black with tan head.. Aroma is roasty, with some dark fruit. Flavor is dominated by roasted coffee with small notes of smoke, chocolate, and moderate etoh. Good.

May 11, 2008 Poured an opaque black color with a small, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, some smoke, chocolate, dried fruits, caramel, and a hint of spice. Taste of roast, charred malts, some caramel, dark chocolate, molasses, with dark fruits, and pronounced alcohol in the finish.

May 2, 2008 Huge chocolate aroma greets you first followed by hints of coffee. A very deep dark pour with tan head and lace. Smooth very chocolate flavor that allows hints of coffee and dates to ease through. Very solid mouthfeel and excellent carbonation. Very solid IS. Was it worth waiting in line for? Hell yeah
