Thick black pour with a creamy tan head. Lots of dark fruit, soy sauce, roasted grain and chocolate aroma. Smooth chocolate taste with hints of dark fruit. Slightly bitter chocolate aftertaste. Really nice stout.

UPDATED: DEC 24, 2003 2000: As an Imperial stout fan this is as good as it gets without the high dosage of alc. I am now drinking my last one. It is bursting with flavors. Very smoky, burny, vanilla, bourbon-like sweetness on the palate and aroma, bitter chocolate reminiscent of Rogue Chocolate, heavy, thick body with creamy, long lasting brown head. Man o man.

Pours black with a creamy brown head. Aroma- hop, roast chocolate malt, caramel. Taste is good balance of hop and sweetness. Smooth texture.

On tap at the Alibi Room - pours jet black with a coffee and chocolate aroma. Thick, roasted malty, chocolate and oatmeal flavour. Full-bodied and smooth. A wonderful stout.

Strong roasted malt aroma, very dark brown, creamy small tan head, lacing all down the glass. Nice 1.5 stout. Heavier than yr typical stout, smaller than an imperial. Just beefy with a scowl. Intense roast, dry grain, kick ass.

tap at the brewery. pours a clear deep brwon. leaves spotty lace. Aroma of maple syrup, black licorice, bread, and toast. flavor is coffee, roast, cocoa. pretty solid. good beer.

Courtesy of Acertain. <P> Baker’s chocolate, coffee and roasted malts pop out in the aroma, but overall the aroma is less intense than my ideal. Poured a very deep black with a dark prown/purple tinted mocha head. Fore is full of dark roasted notes along with chooclate, plum, molasses, raisin, bourbon and even some Brown ale nuttiness. A whole lot of flavor points here. Finish is laced with cream, chocolate, low bitterness coffee and a kick of alcohol. A damn fine beer.
