Deep black with thick creamy cocoa head thats sticky and yummy.
Big dark malty smells with some hops and whiff of (rather pleasant) alcohol aromas that balance the initial sweet impression. Caramel, marzipan, chocolate, vanilla.
Thick, syrupy roasted malts with caramel, vanilla and some cacao bean. Creamy and medium-heavy, full mouthfeel make this a true Imperial Stout experience. Nice find in a hop-centric brew city.

Mar 18, 2008 From a 22-ounce bottle--Thanks to Dave at LL--Poured black and slippery with a little beige-grey head. Sweet and roasty on the tongue. Complexity of chocolates, vanilla, toffee and dark fruits. Quite yummy!

Jan 4, 2008 Poured black and oily with a tan head. Thick chocolate and roasted malt aroma. Somewhat sweet. The flavor was of roasted malt and alcohol. Dry bitter finish.

Dec 25, 2007 This Imperial stout pours a deep black color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee with some roasty malts. A medium bodied Imperial Stout. The malts are chocolate and coffee, and are slightly oxidized. The hops are earthy and floral. Nice balance. Good beer. This is probably a fairly old bottle, but it has held up very well. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
