Pours black with a nice chocolate brown head. The aroma is a great roasted malt and chocolate blend. The taste is a strong blend of the same, with coffee mixing in. Very nice.

Jan 3, 2010 A heavy beer. You can feel the weight in the glass. Black pour from the bottle, long lasting thin dark head. Aroma of raisins/prunes. Full bodied. Not getting the toasty/roasty malts coming through, Licorice finish, with some alcohol bitterness.
Update: I must have had it too cold. Once it warmed up it was much improved, more chocolate/coffee notes, very nice.

Jan 1, 2010 Bottle #268, brewed 251106. Almost black colour with a small brown head. Roasted aroma with notes of dark fruits and smoke. The flavour is sweetish roasted malt with some dark fruits, coffee, chocolate and bitterness. Smooth and balanced. Very nice imperial stout.

Dec 28, 2009 massive chocolate, especially in the aroma. smells, and tastes, like high quality dark chocolate mixed with a bit of bread. got some nice underlaying esters as well without being dominant. nice mouthfeel and bitterness. would be great with deserts but I have always had it on its own.

Dec 23, 2009 500mL bottle. Pours a thick, opaque but clean black with a large, thick and persistent brown head. Aroma is pine, roasted malt, raisins and other dried fruit. Taste includes dark chocolate, coffee and heavily roasted malt. Hop bitterness is very well balanced, and the alcohol is well disguised. Medium carbonation, full bodied and very smooth, leading to a long finish of hop bitterness giving way to the dark malt flavours.
The suggested compliment of ice cream or dark chocolate is spot on.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle at Rattle n Hum. Ravishing, luscious. This is beer at its best. Aroma of deeply roasted malts, coffee beans and dark chocolate. Flavor is rich and profound, with heavy burnt malt character, mild bitter chocolate accents, and some dark fruit sweetness. Full-bodied and with medium carbonation, this beer is a bit chewy and a joy to drink slowly. Wonderful.

Delightful coffee aroma, looks great in the glass - black with lovely choc-milk head! Quite fizzy, subtle choc. sweetness with a long coffee/bitter finish. As it warms the chocolate flavours become more pronounced. Extremely enjoyable!
