CaptainCougar (4482), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and Atlanta, Georgia, USA 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. shp555 (1220), lilburn, Georgia, USA May 10, 2008 Pours a brown color with a brown head. Aroma is roast, malt, caramel, some chocolate, and some spicy hops. Flavor is malty, chocolate, roast, caramel, and a spicy peppery finish. unclemattie (1426), Georgia, USA 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. ATLBeerDog (111), Atlanta, Georgia, USA 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. arventresca (70), Greenville, North Carolina, USA May 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with thick tan head. Very tasty effort from Saranac. Strong beer. Can’t make it a night on the town with this stuff.
