Thanks to supercolter for the bottle. 750 ml bottle served in a CCB snifter. A: Pours a dark black color with brown edges. A light khaki head forms on the pour and recedes to a thin ring. Splotchy lace is left down the glass. S: Dark chocolate with a mild roasted malt body. Some light fruity yeast residuals. A little dark fruit. T: The roasted malt presence is heavier in the taste. Bakers chocolate with a bitter espresso finish. A little char as well. M: Medium bodied with a little bit of chew to it. Medium carbonation with a bitter roasted finish. O: I really enjoyed this stout. Roasty and smooth with a little a chew to it. Nice chocolate and espresso notes. Serving type: bottle

On tap at Buffalo Tap in Savage. Very good imperial stout effort here - I like this better than War & Peace.

Not bad. Pours a thick, dark black with a rather short-lasting, mid-sized, tan head. Aroma is dominated by licorice and alcohol. Flavor is pretty sweet, with the aforementioned licorice, some chocolate and coffee. Not as boozy tasting as some of these high-alcohol stouts. Mouthfeel a bit on the thin side for an imperial stout. But this is a very worthy beer, on the whole.

Black, thick, no head. Smells like alcohol, chocolate, smokey, dark coffee, maybe in that order. Sweet, though not very bitter. Heavy bodied. Good, may may be better with a more toned down alcohol scent.

Decent impy stout, cocoa, chocolate, not super boozy, but it sin’t wowing in any way.

On draft at Devil’s Advocate in Minneapolis. Pours a jet black color with a fluffy tan head and some lacing. Aroma is mostly dark chocolate with some coffee, nuts, toast. Heavy on the palate with soft, creamy carbonation. Flavor is bittersweet, chocolate, coffee, roasty, a little smokey, with a clean bitter chocolate finish. Nice.

Aromatics start with a boozy tone followed by a mild hoppy undertone. This beer pours deep dark black oil. Light brown head that does disappears and then is just wispy. Taste is heavy chocolate and dark fruit. A mild coffee undertone. Palate is thick like oil. Decent size head. Overall a solid brew would love to see this on cherries and oak aged.

On tap at Northbound Smokehouse (Minneapolis, Minnesota)
Aroma: Molasses, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla.
Appearance: Very dark brown with a lasting tan head.
Taste: Fairly typical. Mostly sweet, and a tad bitter, with a slightly boozy finish.
Palate: Medium bodied, with an average carbonation.
A good beer, but nothing out of the ordinary (as with most Fulton offerings).

Pours pitch black. Aromas of vanilla and chocolate are nice. Nice boozy flavours complimented by chocolate and vanilla.

A nice imperial stout. Coffee and dark chocolate but also a bit of that nice bubblegumness. Overall, high quality.
