4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Poured very dark and deep cherry in my pint glass. The nose hits you as you pour the beer of very deep rich chocolate and toffee notes. The head is very nice for a stout. Little lacing throughout the pint. Coffee notes and chocolate come through the taste and of course heavy roasted malts shine through. A little on the thin side with a char finish’s the palate. The color is respected of its name ’Blackout Stout’. HIghly recommend to all Stout lovers. This is top notch!

On tap. Black with a finger-wide tan head, good lacing. Aroma is expected - roasted malts, coffee, slight smoke. Flavor is much of the same but with sweet caramel and chocolate notes. A bit on the cloying side, sticky, good carbonation level.

Black pour, tan head. Roasty and chocolatey, and some bitterness is present in the flavor. It’s an enjoyable imperial stout.

12 oz bottle (4/20/2012) poured into a snifter. Seemed to pour lighter than expected for the style. Half inch thick khacky head. Aroma of sweet roasted malt, burnt sugar and some booze off in the distance. Immediately sweet on the tongue which fades into dark fruit, most noticeably raisin. Chewy malt finish with a tinge of hops lingering. A bit thinner than expected for an imperial, but tasty none the less!

It doesn’t seem imperial, but it is a marvelous stout with chocolate and roasted character to spare. Forget about style, because this beer is incredibly enjoyable.

Bottle. Black pour with tan head with a lot of lacing. Smells of sweet and roasted malts. Tastes sweet at first then a lingering dark chocolate/coffee bitterness. Good stout.
