Jul 8, 2008 Excellent warm dark chocolate, espresso cream on the nose. Thick velvety body intertwines with rich cream and coffee house. A bear skin of cocao powder, flourless cake, and Italian coffee evelop from the gums to the lungs. You can actually breathe this beer. The hop bitterness is hiding in the coat of the roasted malt and serves as essential background. Only on the outskirts of a lingering finish does any real sense of earthy hop exhale. Well balanced. The CO2 level is perfect and the head retention holds it’s own without making a sound. Solid. One of the best Stouts I’ve had and the best of anything out of any can.

Jul 6, 2008 pitch black with beautiful tan head. nose of sweet roasted malt. flavor is tremendous with large contributions from chocolate and roasted malt. the most interesting aspect is the huge hop component that at times really is present in the bitterness which is remarkable for a 9.4% ABV. As good as a Russian Imperial gets. I’ve recently had Hitachino IS and Dieu de Ciel’s Peche Mortel and although it is difficult to compare it is maybe slightly better than Hitachino, but not quite as good as Peche Morter

Jul 2, 2008 Pours thick oily black with a mocha creamy head. Crazy aroma, molasses, creamy chocolate, coffee, porter like roast quality, some vanilla. Dark and roasty!!! Burnt coffee flavor, milky and dark chocolate. Good pine hop bite. Long roast coffee and dark chocolate finish. Super creamy body with some smooth bubbly carbonation. Becomes a little one-note after a while and pretty sugary. This is great... but with some cherries... or whiskey barrel it would be amazing!

Jul 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 18, 2008On tap at the San Diego County Fair Craft Beer Festival. Damn this beer is viscous! Pitch black color, with a light ring of maroon head. Aroma is packed with smoky wood tones, tons of roasted chocolate malt and coffee bean. All around a great flavor profile, starting with sweet molasses and rich dark chocolate, ending with bitter espresso and a bit of cherry. Outstanding body, covering the mouth with an oily character. Nice! I bet this stuff aged in bourbon oak would be straight-up epic!
