illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jun 3, 2008 Bottle at Noogfest 08 thanks to Tronraner. Pours black with a nice brown head. Complex aroma of port, chocolate, and dark roasted malts. On the lighter side of full bodied with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Flavor of molasses, dark roast, and dark bitter chocolate. Finishes slightly boozy. Well done sipper beer. brentfeesh (1030), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Jun 3, 2008 22oz bottle poured at Noog4. This stuff is Black. Plenty of roasty aromas as the dominant smell. Nice flavor. Very lightly sweet and that sweetness is blended well with the roasted grain and molasses like malt. Good. Full body and semi-dry finish. JohnC (2230), Mission Viejo, California, USA Jun 1, 2008 thanks to tronraner for sharing at noogfest 08. creamy, roasty, tasty, some smoke, very tasty. ironchefscott (341), portland, Oregon, USA May 28, 2008 This was a decent IRS that to me just seemed middle of the road...well to my spoiled palate at least....still a darn good beer.....fairly strong roasted malt flavors and has a bit of smokeyness to it but not overpowering at all or even super promenent in the flavors still wish that it finished a bit drier than I would prob rate it a bit higher....but thanks to kramer17801 for giving me this beer in a trade!

Black bodied, ring of tan bubbles. Sweet chocolate and dark fruit aromas. Dark fruit, smoke and candy flavors. I love the roasted smoke in this imperial stout. DicksMcGee (54), Seattle, Washington, USA May 10, 2008 Thanks pepsican. Real nice looking. Smell is almost absent, but some chocolate and cream. Body is the best part of this beer, very thick, creamy. Not a very aggressive taste either. Chocolate, marshmallow, cream, hops, roasty. Very nice beer.
