Jun 2, 2009 Delicious palate of chocolate and malt, with an incredibly rich and smooth texture with a lovely consistency and dazzling lacing left on the glass from its towering, lingering head. Yummy. Possibly the best stout ever.

May 30, 2009 Why am I rating a stout out of a can? I guess the answer is its pretty dam good. Thick chocolate, coffe, and roasted flavors. I must say a pretty dam good stout. Why again is it sold in a can?

May 29, 2009 Draft @ Falling Rock. Deep, dark and oily, smells of dark chocolate and a hint of anise and coffee. Tastes more of the chocolate and a really prominent black licorice. The licorice flavor is extremely close to the Dutch ’drop’ candies (which I hate, but somehow they go really well in this beer). Finishes with nice hoppy bitter and a pleasant alcohol heat. A hot early summer day pre-ballgame was probably the wrong atmosphere to rate this one, but very good

May 28, 2009 Updated: Jun 2, 2009Thick thick thick. Lots of chocolate flavor and smell. Don’t spill this one because it will stain the hell out of a shirt! Definitely worth the mess though. I could drink this beer until I lay down and die. So good!

May 28, 2009 Très bonne imperial stout. Douce et chocolatée en bouche, elle semble disparaître au palais, comme une barbe à papa. En finale, on perçoit davantage les notes d’alcool et de houblon, mais elle reste toujours moelleuse et légèrement chocolatée.

May 25, 2009 Updated: May 28, 2009Pour is very thick.Looks like black,rit dye with a khaki head,that fades to a creamy ring. Big malty,roasted-burnt,espresso, aroma with alcohol ligering. Creamy,oily texture. Burnt malt,inky,flavors,with a quite,hoppy finish. Alcohol is present in mouth and finish in a stinging fashion.Falls apart a little quitckly.

does not count  May 24, 2009 12 oz can into a snifter.
Pours a thick, rich, black, and completely opaque. 1/2 fingers of brown head, which settles quickly into a thin ring of foam, and an incomplete, oily island.
Smells of molasses, roasted malts, coffee, anise infused sweetness, hints of dark fruits and alcohol. Quite excellent.
With taste, "robust" is the first thing that comes to mind. Lots of what the nose made me expect; molasses sweetness, and roasty malts and coffee. Hints of alcohol bitterness builds as consumed.
Moderately low carbonation. Thick and full....smooth....the way I want a RIS to feel.
Overall, this is a fab slow sipper, and quite smooth and easy drinking considering it’s 10 % ABV ....Quite worthy of it’s high ratings. I (sadly) can’t get this stuff around here, but it might be worth it to find a way to snag some more of this canned gem.
