May 16, 2008 motor oil pour, brown bubbly head, great lacing. aroma of dark chocolate, some coffee, roasted barley. flavor is intense the moment it hits the tongue- flavor of espresso, chocolate. aftertaste thick with chocolate. mouthfeel solid but not outstanding. incredible beer, maybe my favorite impy, close to speedway stout.

May 15, 2008 Pours very black with a thick brown head. Dark chocolate aroma. Much sweeter that most imperial stouts ive had.Nice bit of hoppiness in the finish. Alcohol is obvious. Great brew.

May 14, 2008 Updated: Aug 31, 2008Black with deep espresso head that coats glass as you drink. Roasted dark chocolate aroma. Smooth roasted oak vanilla chocolate espresso malt milkshake. with an oak whiskey edge. It’s so smooth you forget the alcohol except for the fact that it warms you up. How does such a smooth stout maintain its edge like this one does. Smooth after-taste leaves you wanting more and more.

May 14, 2008 The beer pour a coal black with a brown/white head. The nose is an earthy mix of roasted malts, chocolate with a hint of wood. The flavor is sweet and smooth with a nice mix of chocolate, hops and just a hint of oak. It is a good beer but didn’t live up to the hype.

May 13, 2008 ar: crystal malt.
fl: more crystal; leafy, herbaceous, soapy hops. grapefruit; licorice; not so much oak for an oak aged beer.. While there’s nothing wrong with this beer, I’m still a little surprised at all the stellar ratings.

May 7, 2008 Shared with Pyro. Appearence is second only to la grande noirceur of dieu du ciel... Pitch black poor with a volcanic like head... the head looks stratified, brown and very frothy. Aromas are fruity sweet to start, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, vanilla, roasted malts, floral and hints of licorice... CREAMY is one word that comes to mind the first time you taste it. Full bodied, perfectly balanced brew in every aspect. Did i say creamy?... long lasting not overpowering bitterness... for 75 IBU’s its barely noticable... the sweetness just compltetes it nicely. Added flavors of prune, plums, TONES of chocolate... In my top 5 impy’s.... Just perfect!
