very nice deep black pour with a thin mocha head...poor retention. aroma is of roasted malt, coffee, and mild smoke. flavor has coffe, chocolate, and smoky notes...very nice. mouthfeel is creamy and finish lingers with smoke.

Bottle: pours black with a big frothy tan head, aroma of roasted malt, coffee, smoke, maybe a little chocolate, taste is coffee, roasted malt, slight bitterness, very silky smooth mouthfeel.

Another old rating. I think acrdz brought this to kuhnhenn. Black with a tan head. Aroma was a little smokey and had some chocolate to it. Flavor was pretty roasty. This one was pretty tastey.

Blind Tasting Toasty malt aroma, with burnt dark chocolate, slight coffee, hints of red fruits. Dark pour with a mocha head. Bitter chocolate, red fruits, buttery with a dead aftertaste...like cheap tequila. Good overall, toasty bitter palate.

Bottle in a trade. Pours a black body with a tan head. Sweet matly chocolate malt, caramel, a light peat note. Bitter chocolate to finish with a full body and some etoh.

Aroma was somewhat delicate,raosted malting and bakers chocolate floating up,but you really had to concentrate,an Imperial stout should be a little more assertive,roasted malts really come out in flavor and dominate,creamy chocolate and cocoajust a little sweetness, and a slightly bitter finish from the hops and roasted and smoked malts. Very pleasant smoothness ,like there was oats added to this,mildly timid ,but satisfying IS,thaks Kingpin

Black with large deep beige head. Sweet aroma with plenty of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes. sweet flavour with roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and dark fruits. Finished sweet with wwarming alcohol and roastyness.

Bottle thanks to John. Dark brown pour with smaller head than expected. Lots of chocoloate and nuttiness... overall, lighter on the tastebuds and palate than expected. Decent, but did not blow me away.
