In bottle, thanks Craig! Pours a very dark brown colour. Aroma of toasted coconut, vanilla, creme brulee, caramel and chocolate. Similar flavours again with mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Mildly bitter with lingering alcohol, chocolate and raisins. Lovely.

Black with dark brown head - swwet dark malt and dark frouits in the aroma - good malt body with sweetness, olso some hint of dark fruits and chocolate , and some roasted malt tones - lingering malt finish - this was exelent and a nice treat

22oz bottle from fear025, thanks! Pours thick and black with a medium sized, frothy, tan head. Aroma of bakers chocolate, caramel, dark roasted coffee, toast and alcohol. Flavor is rich bitter-sweet chocolate, bitter black roasted malt, coffee and some alcohol warming. Very full body with a thick, lush mouth feel. Very similar to the regular version, maybe just a bit more over the top. Excellent beer.

Shared 0.65 L bottle. Pours a sinfully black body, topped by a thin light brown lace. Aroma is complex and balanced. Soft and gently sweet dark malts, reminiscent of mild coffee, cocoa, creamed caramel and black pepper. Silky mouthfeel. Near full-bodied. Coffee and cocoa in the flavor as well, added by fine tones of dark dried fruits, vanilla and a subtle spicy/earthy bitterness. A treat.

22oz bottle, shared with my sister. Oqaque, thick pitch-black color. Good brown head, that fades to minimal. Decent spray of dots of lace. Very nice dark cocoa aroma, so rich and thick. Awesome big chewy body, very light crisp carbonation. Dry finish. Nice bitter taste, light sweet. Great oaty aroma. Crisper malts, somehow, too. Easy to drink, very tasty. Awesome imperial stout.

bottle at dak’s 1/22/12. typical imperial color with a little light brown head. very oatmeal-y nose....mixed with dust, roast, chocolate and some toasted nuttiness (or very old wet coffee). the flavor is the same...very oatmeal-y mixed with added notes of dark dried fruit. sweet and rather thick.8/3/8/3/15+

Very great distinctive style. Interesting aftertaste. Pink color on head. Not a favorite and not for me but a work of art.

Pitch black. Rich bready sweet malts, fruity dark dried fruit notes like raisins, prunes, dates, chocolate, light coffee, some smokiness. Flavor is bitter intense dark roast malt,coffee, chocolate. , hidden fruit esters. Chewy mouth feel. Light stinging carbonation. This is heavy and enjoyable. Intense and bitter.
