Thanks SoLan! Poured a deep brown, almost black color. The aroma is chocolaty and roasted, with some molasses and treacle notes peeking through on the back. The flavor is more of the same, though a bit more subdued than I anticipated. Very good beer.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle @ DTS. Black and opague. Aroma and flavor have coffee and loads of dark chocolate. Just a hint of salt and licorice. The alcohol is well hidden. Syrupy, creamy mouthfeel, earthy hoppy finish. Very well balanced. This IS is really good!

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle acquired through trade a while back with sirpsycho. Sampled this one towards the end of the 7/18 D-Metal with jarspag in OC. Overall a serious Imperial Stout loaded with sweet chocolate and espresso. Oily black texture in the pour with developing red-brown head. Big nose of molasses, charred wood and rich espresso and maybe a hint of oats. Super-rich and satisfying flavor that starts sweet up front and slams the palate with more molasses and black cocoa. Big, chewy body. Ends bitter and roasty. Really, really good.

Jul 20, 2008 Dutch tasting session Bunnik. Bottled. Opaque, dying head. Malts and hops, lots of chocolate, quite bitter. Pretty good.

Jul 19, 2008 22oz bottle thanks to Hophead84. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head, specks of lace. Smells roasty and sweet with some alcohol as well. Tastes roasty and toasty with a good bit of chocolate, but not overwhelming chocolate like I had been told to expect. Lots of sweet malt flavors as well. Medium/full body, with good carbonation.
