Commercial Description:
Jolly Roger himself smoked the malt for this Imperial Stout. This is a massive stout with a huge roasted maltiness and complex smoky, chocolate flavors coming through strong thanks to the gentle handpump and correct cellar temperature.

black pour with a creamy tan head. Faint chocolate and hop aroma. Flavor had a nice hoppy kick with some chocolate, caramel, smoke,booze, and just a bit of cherry. Finished very creamy.

Pours a flat brown with little head. Sweet chocolatey aroma. Flavor is rich, sweet and roasty with moderate alcohol. Pretty good.

Bottle, courtesy tronraner. Pours black with brownish highlights. Tons of lacing, giant foamy head. Chocolate is assertive in the nose, with caramel wrapped in booziness. Thick malt is inviting. Flavor has thick caramel, with a chocolate background. Booziness in the finish, and some cotton candy. Hoppy finish balances the overall feel, and quite drinkable as a sipping RIS.

20070303 Growler? Big and black. Juicy, chewy, smoky dark chocolate. Resinous, bright, and very bitter stuff. In fact, it’s a bit harsh but that’s just lovely and yummy.

Bottle sampled with Mad Indian. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of dark fruit, black malt, chocolate, and coffee. The flavor is sweet, chocolate, roasted malts, with a fair amount of hops in the finish. Good mouthfeel, hides alcohol weel. Exceptional brew.

This brew was brought to the fordest tasting (Jan, ’08) by wetherel and shared between fordest, padrefan98, toncatcher and of course wetherel. Thanks buddy.

Pours totally black with mocha head. The aroma is mild and a bit odd with hints of oxidation, roasty malts, some faint chocolate notes and licorice. I love the flavor. I get chocolate, coffee, roasted malts and hints of licorice. This is thick and rich and mildly warming. It has a very nice balance between the various notes. The roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and licorice all blend together seamlessly.

#500. Courtesy of Tronraner. Pours a dark brown with a creamy tan head. Lacing is noticeable. Aroma is mostly coffee. Tastes of milk chocolate, coffee, burnt grains, little smoke, and some hop presence. Palate is super creamy, with a slight alcohol burn. Enjoyed very much.

bottle from kramer1087. A nice brew, but a little too much smokey flavor for my liking. Chocolate background.
