Bottle: Very dark, near opaque pour with a khaki ring for head. Salty, tarry aroma with lots of charred barley. Creamy dense body with lots of licorice in the flavor. Salty and rich. The finish has a nice amount of bittering hops and residual roast. A decent Stout.

Black with brown twinges with a nice tan head. Smell is dark fruits, raisans, malts, and good sweetness. Taste is sweet, sugary, medium body, malts, and dark fruits. Overall good beer.

Courtesy of TPD975. Fairly boozy aroma with burnt fruit and malt notes. Lesser hints of chocolate follow. Flavor is much the same, but the alcohol is even more pronounced and it tastes much more alcoholic than the abv indicates. Very nice mouth feel and quite solid, but slightly disappointing when considering the hype around it.

Bottle courtesy tpd975. Greg you rock! Pours black with a one finger tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, dark fruit, dark chocolate, and alcohol. Taste is the same as aroma but more prominent. Full mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. A wonderfull Imperial Stout.
