A- Pours a dark black hue letting very little light through. Deep reddish brown head which is absolutely decadent.
S- Smell consists of roasted malt and coffee. A bit faint.
T- Taste is predominately roasted malt, deep brown sugar notes, coffee.
M- Thick with medium carbonation.
D- This was a pretty tasty imperial stout. Not my favorite but it looks great and is very solid.

Jan 7, 2010 Can from Village Beer Merchant in Buffalo. Pours an opaque black body with a short lived medium sized brown head. Some light lacing. Aroma is sweet candy, chocolate, booze, wine, and some roasted malts. Flavor is mocha, vanilla, slight coffee with sweet malts. A bit cloying sweet caramel finish. Super smooth, full bodied. Alcohol is noticable but not overbearing. Another really good canned beer from OB.

Jan 7, 2010 Nose is chocolate with some dark fruits. Pitch black, nice milky coffee head. Creamy, lightly carbonated but just right. Chocolate up front, with tons of roasted malt and a surprisingly robust hop profile. Some citrus, some pine cone notes. Insanely drinkable. Very good beer.

Jan 7, 2010 Poured from a 12oz. can into a stemmed glass.
The color is a dark black with a slight brownish head that did not last. No lacing so far.
The smell is a little chocolate syrup flavor. It has a pretty strong caramel flavor with a bit of a peppery flavor.
The taste is is dark chocolate with creamy notes. Some hints of licorice with some espresso flavor and toffee.
The feel is medium bodied that is pretty surprising for an Imperial stout but it is the first that I have had a can. It does down easy and has a limited aftertaste.

Jan 5, 2010 This viscous, thick, chewy dose of roasted malt and chocolate is quite possibly one of the finest brews that I have tried. Inky black as it drains from the 12 oz. can, this is as dark as a black hole as no light can penetrate it. Wonderfully hoppy but balanced by the enormous malt flavour. Not only a great winter beer, this may breed some great recipes in the future. Desert anyone?

Jan 4, 2010 Pours pitch black with a small tan head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, hazelnuts, and a bit of something herbal. Mint perhaps. Flavor is moderately bitter and boozy. The coffee lingers on the palate. Thick and smooth mouthfeel, just a bit astringent. A very good stout.
