Our bottle said 11. Can we say roast in the aroma?/ Dark black with tan head. Very nice. Flavor is roasty, chocolate, a nice strong taste throughout. Long lasting head, very tasty.

750 ml bottle. Pours a deep black with a thick medium sized light brown head. Aroma of dark sweet chocolate, roasted coffee beans and malt. Taste of dark chocolate, light roasted coffee beans, malt and black licorice. Good, but lacking greatness.

Sampled at Hellbilly’s gathering. Thanks Shyam! Nice midnight black pour with a creamy tan head. Bitter chocolate and deep roast coffee in the aroma and flavor. Nice malty finish. A great Imperial Stout.

UPDATED: APR 17, 2008 Bottle. Poured a really nice deep black body with nice head. Aroma is roast, chocolate. Flavor is bitter sweet chocolate, coffee roast, and a sweet malty taste. The mouthfeel lasts forever! This is damn good young and look forward to trying it aged.

Black as night on color with a nice looking mocha head. Smells of chocolate, coffee, and dark roasted malts. Taste is sweet with chocolate, malts, and roastiness. Good beer.

Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye.
Poured black with rich tan head with good retention. Aroma of dark roast, alcohol spice, and slight, slight floral hops. Flavor is strong, sweet with large profile of dark roast, slight alcohol, and slight bitter. Medium carbonation with full body. Great stout!

Pour is black with a giant never subsiding head...it took me like 5 minutes to pour it...initially smell is roasty and alcoholic...chocolate, yeast, and coffee...taste is very roasty and smooth with tons of toasted rye and pumperknickel flavors...lots of dark chocolate too...a nice dark chocolate bittersweet flavor slowly dominates and rounds out the finish...good indeed!

Pours a perfect black with a dark tan head that is larger than expected. This is one of the more heavily carbonated imperial stouts I’ve ever had. The flavor is very sweet, a bit of vanilla. Plenty of chocolate. Sticky.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled at an AJ’s tasting and at hellbilly’s gathering bottle courtesy of Shyam. Black body with tan head. Aroma amd flavor are virtually the same with oak wood and vanilla along with a thick creamy body texture. Good example of an impy stout.

Bottle shared w/ Simon. Bad ass, pitch black pour - looks rugged. Aromas of dark chocolate, roast, coffee, sweet vanilla. Flavor begins rich and sweet and seconds after swallowing transition into a dry, roasty, bitter bomb of a stout. Just fantastic. For whatever reason, my expectations were fairly mild before cracking this...but was surprisingly blown away. This is just really, really good...a new go-to.
