Very dark pour, tan head. Sweet lactose aroma, burnt malt, roast, dark chocolate. Flavor is lightly sweet, lots of roast, LOTS. Lactose sugar is noticeable. Its not an impy.

Tried on tap at the Florida Brew Fest 2011 addition. It pours a nice looking mahogany with infra red edges and pretty effervescent mocha head with swirls of whiter hues here and there. The aroma is roasty, a little bit of toffee covered burnt toast and chocolate covered malt balls. The taste is full dark roasted malts to near robust levels with lighter notes of toffee, espresso and burnt toast. It stays highly roasty to just about being burnt without reaching ashy levels as it stays grounded with lots of light chocolate malts and maltiness. Wait, this is an Imperial Stout here on RB? Well that’s not right. This is a very good stout though.

Tap at Intuition. Clear, dark cola pour is a good tan head erupting. Decent lace. Muted nose with roasted malt and mild coffee. Taste brings a big roasty character with acidic coffee, lemon, mild lactic sourness in the back end. Huge roastiness along with moderate ash and medium dark chocolate cocoa powder. Lighter mouthfeel and quite lemony and acidic. Good stuff. Feels more like Irish dry stout. 8% is unnoticed.

7/14/12. Growler I picked up from the brewery. Black pour with a nice tan head. Nice roasted aroma with chocolate and coffee and a definite brown sugar/honey aspect. Slightly sweet entry with chocolate and some lingering coffee and sweet sugars. Nice creamy aspect as well. Nice!

On draft at Intuition. Pours a medium stout brown with a tan head. Nose is chocolate, slight roast, cocoa, and hints of earth with sweetness. Flavor is similar- roast and earth in front with dark chocolate and sweetness (brown sugar/ molasses?) coming next followed by a finish of roast and ash. interesting stout, never would have guessed it was 8%.

Growler opened on the bus ride to the Hunahpu release. Pours black with light brown head. Aromas of roasted malts, chocolate and some coffee. Similar flavors with some sweetness. Medium to full body with minimal carbonation. A decent brew.

dark brown pour with an almost beige head. aroma and flavor were dark roast, coffee, chocolate, and brown sugar. body seemed a little light for an impy.

On tap at Brass Tap for Local Takeover Night, poured a dark black color, aromas of coffee, roasted malt, touch of vanilla, and a kiss of ash. Flavors are a nice blend of the aroma, real nice stout, thinner than expected but still real good overall. Glad this one was on, one of the better ones on that night.
