Jan 8, 2009 2008-12-20. Black body with a modest tan head that fades. (3+) Dry roast aroma, over mild dark malts. Flavour starts with a similarly dry dusty roast character that precedes a sweeter dark malt base. Touches of chocolate/cocoa are variable and lean towards the dry overall theme, bitterness in the finish along with some chalky notes, like Ovaltine powder or similar? Smooth medium to full bodied palate is lightly carbonated. Solid, serviceable imperial stout, but does not suit my own tastes enough to get me to hurry back. <i>Bottle from Premier Gourmet, Buffalo</i>

Dec 20, 2008 Bottle from MaltOMeal at the December Houston tasting. Thanks! Pours a thin, dark mahogony with an aroma of faint molasses plastic syrup and sweet cedar. Flavor is sparkling light chocolate with an earthy cinammon finish. Average mouthfeel. Not bad, but too light bodied for my taste.

Dec 17, 2008 Looks almost completely black in the glass with a yeasty light brown medium to large sized head. Nose is sour malt, some chocolate and roasted coffee. Really muted. Crazy mouthfeel, smooth and medium but tiny little bubbles caress the tongue like nothing I have ever felt. Taste is mild and roasted with some milk chocolate and more of the sour malt, kind of milky and creamy. I could chug a bucket of this.
