Huge sturdy dark head. Not pitch black, hint of red shows through. Tastes of dark smoked fruit. Mildly sweet. Very wet.

Draught at GABF 2008. Black - brown head. Burned, alcoholic, nice hoppy, sharpness, licorice, light smokey notes, chocolate. Simple but very nice - lovely..... Tasted again at the workers afterparty after GABF 2008 Fridays session, I am adding: Bottle, coffee, sharpness... almost same rating.

I tried this and sticky stout on the same night. This was a more standard imp stout, sweeter, heavier mouthfeel, and less dry and earthy then the sticky. Pours a dark brown black with light brown head. Nice rich flavor of raisin, dark fruit, sweet chocolate, liquorice, caramel, and roasted malt. Nicely done.

Draft at the Pizza Port Carlsbad. Pours a rich black with a thin cream head. Alcohol and oats on the nose. Real good oat and malt flavors, a bit of smoke. Alcoholic mouthfeel. Very tasty IS, good way to unwind from a long day.

I was impreed with this brew on tap at Hamiltons in San Diego. Dark rich, a bit of alc on the finish. Lots of dark roast coffee and coco. Not as smooth as some others but a rare brew to make it out of an actual Pizza Port facility and be at another brew pub. Quality is very high and a good effort was put forward. Carbination was also high which aided in cleaning up the dark richness but maybe too much?
