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.

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.

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

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.
