On tap at SBC brew bub. Slight aroma of coffee. Pours jet black with little head. Flavors of coffee, a little chocolate, alcohol and roasted malt. A little thin for a stout. Nice sipping beer.

Sep 7, 2008 A deep dark stout with a thin moka head. A sweetish lactic stout, chocolate, cherries, and a bit of chickpea puree. A roasted chocolate with acidulated fruits, past its prime. Medium bodied. Tasted April 2007.

Aug 7, 2008 A very good beer by all accounts, but probably the least exciting Imperial I’ve ever had. Good chocolate, coffee, nut-malt flavor, but a little weak in all aspects; flavor, booze, and thickness/viscosity. Very watery for a RIS. Still enjoyable, however. Just easily outdone by most other brewers of this style.

Jul 30, 2008 22 oz. bottle - pours dark brown with medium body; tan head along the edges; all roast in the aromas with hints of coffee; very rich on the the nose and flavors; creamy, velvety body; so good and quite surprising; dry finish and a terrific RIS all around; not super strong, but great texture , lots of flavor and perfectly balanced; proves you don’t need to be 12%+ to be among the big boys

Jul 17, 2008 From a bomber. The body is perfectly black with a light tan head. The aroma is strange artificial caramel with some slightly souring bitter chocolate. There is a raisin character. The taste has some light prunes and a little bit of strange dark chocolate. This is weirdly tart and not a pleasure.
