Dec 13, 2009 12oz bottle, thanks to fata2683, poured into a tulip glass produced one of the most beautiful ales to date with it’s brown, thick head and black body. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Predominant flavors of toasted coffee beans, chocolate, and molasses. The lacing left behind was incredible. One of the best Imperial Stouts that I’ve had. Thanks, Son!

Dec 12, 2009 Bottle. Poured a jet black color with a tow finger tan head. This beer left plenty of lacing on the side of the glass as iit went. Aroma was rich chocolate, dark coffee, and roasted malts. Flavor was smoky, chocolate, burnt notes. Aftertaste was mildly bitter. Very rich and complex. Thick beer. Very very good.

Dec 12, 2009 Very dark dense appearance; thin brown head. Rich cool aroma - dark chocolate, medium/heavy roast. Rich bitter/sweet flavor, reminds me of my first experiences with imperial stouts. Impression of hops, though doesn’t seem to be overdone. Very Expedition Stout-ish, or Kentucky Bourbon Stout sans the bourbon. A very competent take.

Dec 10, 2009 $11.99 / 4 Pack- I was completely unexpecting this! I know Founder’s has great beer, but I was not prepared for how much I like this. As of now, this will end up being at the top of my rating list--above the incredible Speedway Stout! Nice chocolate, heavy malt, and coffee tones. Little alcohol on the tongue and finish, but I happen to like that. Just excellent!

Dec 8, 2009 Poured black/dark dark brown with a thin caramel head. Aroma is kind of lacking. There are some malt notes in there and definite booze character. The taste is about the same with malts, some chocolate, booze, mocha. Smooth finish. Complex and nice. I served too cold tho... I’ll re-rate after I try it again
