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.

[966-20071212] 1pt6floz (c/o HogTownHarry, w/ him, blankboy, jerc, tupalev). Roasted malt and a bit of creamy smoke aroma. Black brown body with a medium-lasting creamy tan head. Smoky roasted malt flavour has a hint of bitter tin. Medium-full body is thick. Great imperial stout but not quite as impressive as anticipated.

On cask at Ottos Pub and Brewery. Pours murky, muddy dark chocolate brown colour with a barely there tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and licorice. Flavour of alcohol, bitter chocolate, raisins, plums and a hint of smokiness.. Has a bitter aftertaste. Went straight to my head after drinking 2 pints of Phoenix Kriek.

Bottle. Pours thick, black, but not as thick as most RIS’s. Smoky aroma, which got more obvious as it warmed. Taste is of black licorice, darker fruit, hops, definitely sweet. A very nice surprise. Would love another bottle.
