COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For 2007 the brewers have selected a blend of 7 malts and 7 hops to create our unique annual limited release. When you decide to open this, you will notice a pitch black ale that pours with small brown head. The aroma is full of citrusy and floral notes, not only from the hops added from the boil but also the hops added after fermentation, the dry hop stage. Finally, one taste of this years beer and you will understand why it is so dark, roasted chocolately and malty flavors are abundant from the various dark malts that make up so much of the recipe. It is extremely limited, extremely strong and extremely original, because as we like to say around here "Its all about extremes!"

I’ve had this bottle in my cellar since last year, today seemed like the day to pop her open. sampled 7/18/2008 Pours a dark brown/black with no head at all. Not sure if the carbonation leaked out of the cork, or if it never had any to begin with. The aroma is intense. Lots of Molasses, chocolate, alcohol, citrus hops, and wine like smells going on here. Taste has a bit of alcohol, chocolates coffee. What I’m really missing is the roasted barley. Mouthfeel is a bit creamy/oily and the body is thick. Overall its not bad, nothing to write home about, but certainly good enough to drink it all down.

Kinz (2694) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - DEC 4, 2010
5th Annual Epic and Rare. Black. Aroma and flavor are both highly chocolate oriented. Nice, but there really isn’t much else going on here. Just the chocolates of a pretty standard Imperial Stout. Age has knocked out the complexity on this one I think. Still a good beer though.
