Pours dark black, as night. Very deep rich roasted aroma The taste is dark chocolate and very malty. A hearty heavy stout. There is a slight hint of coffee and a touch of fruit. Very well done. Leaves you wanting many more!

Growler fill from TCT (Greenville). Pours brown/black with a decent head. Aroma of dark roasted malt with hints of rum, dark chocolate and weak coffee. There’s some chocolate and coffee in the flavor too, but a much more substantial load of dark roasted malts, particularly towards the finish. A bit boozy and a touch of burnt grain, but both are more welcome than objectionable. O: A well crafted, mainstream imperial stout.

Vertical tasting of 2013, 2012, and 2011. Reviewing 2011 specifically. A somewhat hollow tartness on the nose; certainly intriguing but one dimensional (more fresh bottles smelled of raw malt and dark fruit). Headless, dark bastard with only a touch of film. Tastes of malt/lactic sourness, mellow purple fruit, and wine. Eldest bottle certainly immensely preferred to the more recent. (The most recent two years varied from one another only a bit - the two yr old had become something new entirely). Overall, rich and tart in flavor but gently bodied for an imperil stout.

Draft at Khyber Pass in Philly. Apparently finished the keg so the very dark red pour has an enormous fluffy brown head. Smooth creamy chocolate coffee. Strong dark stout but the creaminess makes this almost ridiculously drinkable for so high an ABV. Not overly complicated but the notes that are there are in proper balance. Huge creamy finish.

Poured from bottle- dark thick with a creamy head. Good lacing. Subtle alcoholic smell with chocolate. Strong toasty malt flavor with heavy chocolate finish. Creamy thick mouth feel.

750ml bottle. Very strong aroma of roasted coffee. Dark and delicious, coffee and rich. I really enjoyed this guy.

Pours dark brown with a substantial tan head with webs of lacing left behind. Aroma is deep roast and chocolate with a woody vanilla note. Taste is chocolate malt, spicy hops, chocolate, oak, soy sauce, and toasted grain. Medium body, slick yet creamy mouth feel and average carbonation. Really delicious.

Big coffee chocolate nose. Taste follows suit. Add.some smoke and vanilla on palate. Finish is very smooth. Nice price as well.

On draft at Spacebar in Falls Church VA. Pours black with a tan head. Coffee and chocolate aroma. Viscous mouth feel with soft carbonation. Flavors of dark fruit, chocolate and coffee. Luscious.
