Oct 7, 2008 Bottle from Ledger’s in Berkley, CA. Pours almost black with a medium sized tan head. Tasted of roasted chocolate matls. A great beer to just sip on. Even gets better as it warms. WOW!!

Oct 7, 2008 I really enjoyed this imperial stout - it offers up a lot of flavors and seemed to reveal more and more with each sip and as it warmed up.
It pours black, with a pretty decently sized head for this style (their heads are usually pretty minimal). Aroma was not great...really just dry roastiness with some coffee notes. However, flavor revealed quite a bit more - coffee, a touch of sour sweetness, "burned pizza crust," and lots of chocolate notes. Mouthfeel was great - dry, smooth, but not overly sticky...still pretty clean.
A top notch beer. I bought this bottle at Discount Liquor.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours a black ruby. Not much to the nose, just a bit of malt. Very malty flavors with mild tobacco flavors and small hints of chocolate. Lots of smoke flavors. A very long dry finish. Real good beer.

Sep 25, 2008 Bottle thanks to zathrus13. Pours with a large, creamy, brown head covering a black body. Aroma of smoke, chocolate, alocohl and currants. Taste is chocolatey, and yeasty with some ash and alcohol warming noticable. Syrupy mouthfeel, light bubbles.
