3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours deep brown with a big foamy beige head that reduces quickly to a thin layer. Looks awesome! Smells of chocolate and dark fruit. Tastes of the same plus coffee and black licorice. Overall pretty tasty, but the firkin keg tapped in Madison if this same beer last week blew it out of the water.

3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
This was the Wilco Tango Foxtrot limited batch. Lots of good malt flavor plus a welcome and unexpected hoppiness. Medium brown color and an aroma that emphasizes the malt flavor. Certainly recommend.

22 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Pours thin dark brown with a thin creamy mocha head. Aroma is cocoa and a hint of bourbon. Taste is big roasty charred chocolate oaky malt with a nicely balanced bitter finish. Notes of vanilla, Body is quite thin for an imperial stout. ABV is impressive as this tastes nowhere near 9.9% abv.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours ruby with a slightly offwhite head that lasts the whole pour. Smells sweet, cedary and spicey. First feel in the mouth is very thick with coffee, chocolate and toffee. The sweet notes are quickly balanced out by a smooth, spicey bitterness that is followed by a warming from the alcohol. A very balanced big brown, the generous hops keep it balanced and easily drinkable at 7.85%.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Looks great, black pour minimal head. Malty but not strong. How is this 9.9%. Tastes like 3.9%. Gets worse as it warms. This dog has no bark, no bite but a lot of fleas.
