3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/2022 oz. bottle. Pours black with a moderate deep brown head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left a thin veil and many scattered pinpricks as lace. Very pleasant aroma of roasted malt, raisins, some chocolate, and booze. The flavor is ok but not great with roasted malt, some char, and raisins. Moderate bitterness at the finish. Some mild alcohol warmth at the finish as well. Full bodied. A good beer, but just falls a bit short from making it into the 4’s.

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with minimal brown head. Settles very quickly with no lacing, as expected with the high ABV. Aroma is heavily roasted, slight coffee, oatmeal, chocolatey, quite sweet, some dark stone fruit, very mild alcohol. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, mild to moderate hop bitterness, mild alcohol with a deeply roasted, dark malt finish. Good balance of roast and hops, usually not a fan of detectable hops in stouts but this is tastefully done. Palate is pretty thoroughly ruined/saturated. Soft to moderate carbonation, full body, and smooth texture. A very dark, roasted, rich, strong, delicious imperial stout. People have been raving about this beer, really glad I got to try it, it lives up to its reputation.

This was quite solid. Inky black beer with a frothy, brown head. Strong aromas of dark coffee. Tastes of bitter, dark coffee, burnt coffee beans, and some dark chocolate. Some hints of oatmeal and booze too. Dry, with a chalky/bitter finish. A bit too palate destroying for my taste, but this was still very good.
