Jun 28, 2009 Wow. One hell of an imperial stout. I almost like it better than Older... I said almost. Pours a mean-looking black with a tan head. Nose is chicory, semi-sweet chocolate, coffee, some oak and barrel vanilla notes, and some slight booze. Flavor is awesome: chocolate takes center stage with the rest of the flavors as supporting cast. I get overripe dark fruit, chocolate, slightly subtle vanilla and oak, whiskey, and coffee with licorice. Gentle carbonation and a silky mouthfeel also contribute to this masterpiece. Outstanding imperial stout. It burns with some alcohol as it goes down, and lingers with chocolate and whiskey.

Jun 27, 2009 had a bottle of this at Brouwer’s Cafe in seattle before the Fremont Oktoberfest... somewhat toward the beginning of a long day of drinking. opaque black-brown pour with a small tan head. coffee, toffee and dark fruits in the aroma. light bitter coffe taste - with hints of tobacco. thin feel and yet chewy somehow. great even long bitter finish. great stuff -- sipping brew though.

Jun 21, 2009 22 oz. of pure heaven. The label is hilarious and I like ’em dark! This triumph from Port Brewing makes a nice meal.

Jun 20, 2009 22oz bomber. Pour looks like oil with a medium brownish head that quickly dissipated. Nose had candy and molasses. Flavor was more subtle and less sweet than i expected. It’s very nice, highlighted by chocolate, licorice, and a bitter hop/roasted malt finish.

Jun 20, 2009 A opaque black colored beer, with a thick foamy dark beige head. The aroma of chocolate, with dark fruits and roasted malts. The taste of pure chocolate, with hints of vanilla. Dark fruits, roasted malts, some liqourice flavors. Bitter with notes of sweet. The aftertaste of chocolate with liqourice lingers on.

Jun 14, 2009 22 oz. bomber from Applejack in Denver. This tastes more like a stout (reminiscent of Bell’s Expedition) than an ale. It is wonderful! I concur with most of the descriptive adjectives below and won’t repeat them. The label is a hoot! Kind of pricey (8 bucks), but worth it.

Jun 10, 2009 The cap accidently opened in a bike accident. 30 min later, when half the bottle had ran out, i sampled it at home. Very dark brown look with a minimal brown head (probably due to the accident) Great aroma! What struck me first was milky chocolate followed by salty liquirice, olives and alchohol. Flavor is close to something i’ve been looking for in awhile, whithout knowing exactly what it was. The beer flavors just explode, like english liquirice, then its mixed with toffee sweetness thats just awsome! Mild burned bitterness and a very warming alchohol. Glad i atleast managed to bring half a bottle safe home...
