Nov 26, 2007 Thanks to riversideAK for the bottle. Pours dark brown with nice sized brown head. Roasted espresso and sweat malt nose. Flavor is big on coffee up front, then settles down and chocolate starts to dominate. Nice lttle spice and black pepper notes also.

Nov 25, 2007 Updated: Jul 23, 2009BEAST! IT’S A BEAST! I love this beer because I imagine many people hate it. Port refuses to identify the style, so get ready for an American Imperial Strong Storter. Heavy roast, coffee grounds with cocoa powder, light chile, and evident booze. And if you read the label and absorb the mechanical mood, you really will start tasting motor oil and metal shavings.

Nov 20, 2007 Bottle: pours jet black with no head other than a very thin ring around the glass, aroma reminds me of Imperial Stouts that I have had - that strong roasted aroma and some hints of coffee and chocolate, taste is burnt, bitter dark chocolate. This is really good. I’m not sure I’d classify this as an American Strong...it’s more of an Imperial Stout to me and a damn good one at that.

does not count  Nov 18, 2007 Dark like ink with a very light head. Slight hint of ruby color. Smells sweet and burnt - an intriguing and unique combination. Slid smoothly around my mouth and down my throat ... very strong burnt chocolate and alcohol flavor that is quite pleasant. It’s a brew to sip slowly and enjoy with friends.

Nov 15, 2007 Opaque black, with a red hue when playing with the light at angles on the glass. Mocha head with cobblestone lacing. Roasted barley on the nose. Flavor is complex, with plenty of fuel with a citrus tang and a spicy hop bite, coffee, and fresh grain. Sweet. Good carbonation. A recommended brew.

Nov 14, 2007 Rating #900. Bottle from dirty martini - Thanks! Pours a dark brown, near black with a small tan head. Nose is rich and full of roastiness, vanilla, and seemingly that bourbon sweetness from a barrel aged brew... Smooth and creamy on the palate with flavors of cocoa, coffee, roast, and moderate sweetness into bitters. Nice level of complexity and very pleasant to drink.
