Feb 11, 2009 Outstanding. Wish I could afford to drink this all the time. Great aroma. Great looking. Taste is excellent chocolate with maybe just a touch more coffee than I like. But overall, this is a fantastic beer.

Feb 11, 2009 High octane dark chocolate coffee stout. Goes down good and smooth. Great creamy/frothy large light brown head with excellent lacing. Smelled like it tasted, dark chocolate coffee, I thought the coffee stuck around longer then other stouts at the end, but still good finish.

Feb 10, 2009 Silky smooth and goes down easy for such a dark brew. Explodes with flavor and leaves a nice creamy finish. This along with the Fullers London Porter are in my top three...

Feb 10, 2009 Pours a dark black color with a nice beige head. Huge wonderful chocolate aromas along with some roasted malts. Flavor is of chocolate mocha, roasted malt,coffee and a touch of vanilla. Nicely balanced as well. What a great stout!

Feb 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a touch of red and very thin light brown head. Aroma is Chocolate and coffee, a bit grainy and roasty. A hint of tobacco. Flavor is nice and roasty but not burnt, plenty of mocha. Very typical stout characteristics and not particularly unique, what makes it stand out is the remarkable balance that most stouts do not have. Full bodied and full of flavor but neither harsh nor cloying, it just hits that middle ground and makes for a great, enjoyable stout. Silky smooth with low carbonation.

Feb 9, 2009 Updated: Mar 4, 2009Another top brew, courtesy of Adrian. Dark pour with light brown head. Chocolate cake and bread aroma, with coffee and hops. Full bodied with rich coffee flavor. Oat smoothness and a chocolate taste comes into it too. A dash of peppy hop tingle completes the aftertaste. It could perhaps use a just a little more sweetness, but this is another excellent creation from Founders.

Feb 8, 2009 Updated: Feb 17, 2009On Tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor. Pours that great black color with a thin tan head that can only mean an imperial stout. Smell of coffee and a little chocolate, some oatmeal texture throughout. Sweet malty falvor, nice strong taste that lasts and lasts. Great complex flavor and palate.

Feb 8, 2009 Black pour with small tan head. Nice aroma of coffee, chocolate, some malts. Flavor of coffee and spices, think they slipped in some sugar or cinnamon granules for a gritty taste, but good. Strong and remarkable flavor overall.
