May 10, 2008 Pours an oily, nearly-opaque with a thin, spotty-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and dark chocolate with some band-aid phenols underneath. Body starts with some fizzy carbonation and dark caramel malts toward a roasty malty finish with some bittersweet dark chocolate character. An ok imperial stout, but needs more body and balance.

May 10, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown \ black. Aroma of alcohol, licorice, anise, and some roast. Flavor is sour, roast, and lots of alcohol flavor. Not much else for overall character.

May 10, 2008 Pours a beautiful brownish/black color that is extremely dark – not much head with average lacing and below average carbonation. The dominate smell is rich malts, coffee and chocolate. First taste is light, sweet, smoky, and bitter - not much body at all. Not very complex as other in this style.
