On tap at OBriens. Poured a very dark brown or black with a light brown head. Aroma of cocoa dust, caramel, and roasted malt. Some light milky tones. Flavor was alot of caramel malt, cocoa powder, with only light roasted and sweet elements. Not bursting flavor, but what was there was very nice.

jimbowood (1036) - Freeport, Georgia, USA - JAN 4, 2009
Draft @ Hamilton’s. Tastes as it is billed, like a malted milk ball on crack. A very nice imperial stout. Like a toned-down version of chokolat from ST.

badlizard (4410) - San Diego, California, USA - DEC 25, 2008
On tap at hamiltons. Black with a creamy tan head. Weak chocolate aroma. Decent chocolate taste but the abv is the most redeeming part of an otherwise boring beer.
