Aug 17, 2008 Updated: Jun 27, 2009Can from ericandersnavy.
Pours black, no light comming through, with a chocolate head....Very strong aroma of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is very nice, strong dark roast and chocolate with a bitter of a good IIPA. Palate is heavy, full body with low carbonation. Over all, a very tasty beer....

Aug 16, 2008 Alright, so any beer that comes in a ALUMINUM CAN isn’t exactly on my "to-taste" list... so when this arrived from a friend I wasn’t the biggest fan. But it’s good stuff! GREAT roasted flavors with lots of creamy vanilla and chocolate. EXTREMELY thick (I would love to know what it’s FG is, gotta be huge) and pours tremendously dark with a dark tan head that is rich with aroma and flavor.
All I know is that when I see this in the stores, can or bottle, I’m buying it!

Aug 16, 2008 Pitch black with a brown head. Mild blackened malt aroma with some grassy hops. Full body with light carbonation. Big flavors of dry black malts and tobacco at first, then a nicely bitter, dryish grassy hop and alcohol twang to finish. Reminds me of Gonzo porter.

Aug 16, 2008 Can. Pours near black with a brown head. Roasted aroma, a touch of sweetness and coffee. Smooth mouthfeel. Roasted flavor with coffee, raisin, and a grassy hop finish. Very nice.

Aug 14, 2008 10 50 - pours like the oil, really. Beautiful onyx pour with a significant brown froth. Aroma of rich cocoa with some oak amd fresh ahi. Palate is rich, thick and complete. Nearly perfect in taste, a journey from coffee to chocolate to malts to hops back to coffee. Each taste seens better than the last. Be aware of the new brewery opening in Longmont, let’s see how they do!

Aug 13, 2008 Finally got a chance to try this, at Paul’s BBQ 08, thanks so much for saving this for me Paul. One word - WOW. Awesome milk chocolate aroma - no roast here. Pitch pitch black, big brown head. Taste again is all delicious smooth chocolate without a hint of roast at all - a unique approach to the style. Lovely alcohol and chocolate finish. Spectacular!

Aug 13, 2008 Thanks to BOLTZ7555 for this one! It’s amazing seeing something this dark and thick coming out of a can. Pours an thick, oily black with a brown inch thick head that leaves lovely lacing. Plenty of chocolate and and coffee in the aroma. In the flavor, there’s plenty of coffee and bitter chocolate. Coffee definitely dominates here. Finishes with a note of licorice though. Smooth on the palate, but I’ve found creamier impy stouts. Quite delicious beer, and I’m quite happy I have another can sitting in the cellar!
