Thanks to John from J&H Beer for this bottle. Awesome looking head of chocolate milk and Kahula. Aroma is full of fresh ground and roasted coffee ,burnt chocolate and dark rum. Very creamy on the pallet, a real delight. Taste smacks of burnt coffee and dark spirits (rum or bourbon). Alcohol presense is slightly strong, but expected for this big beer. Heavy expresso on the finish. Wouldja - Yes!

Amazing aroma and taste in this intense imperial stout. Malty richness and hoppy profile fuse together to create a very interesting and enjoyable pitch black brew. One of the best stouts I have enjoyed so far!

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Good Looking beer that pours black with a generous tan head and lots of lacing. Aroma of roasted malts and booze... Taste has a lot of coffee notes, malty, some cocoa and alcohol; it is perhaps very well balanced and smother than what the aroma would lead you to think. Overall a very nice beer, a slow drinker but very enjoyable.

Great color. Minimal head. Coffee beans, vanilla, earthy hops, anise. Great RIS, a bit thinner than expected. Long roasty, hoppy finish!

One of the best stouts ever, with a wide availability, a great example of the style to introduce your old man to. Fruity, toffee, malty, boozy, etc.

Pours thick dark brown with two-fingers of tan head. Smells of roasted malts and sweet caramels. Tastes rich, with cocoa, coffee, caramel, roasted malts and light bitter. Nice finish with a light coffee bitter on the tongue. Delicious beer.

Moderate carbonation and medium-full body. Rich, roasted, an excellent imperial stout.

2013 bottle drank in 2013: Pours a deep black-brown with a khaki colored head that billows out the top of the glass with a vigorous pour. The aroma is malty and roasty. There is some chocolate in the aroma. The taste is complex with a smoky aftertaste. Very well done RIS.
