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.

Apr 24, 2008 This beers gotten me into trouble a few times. Smell was malty and sweet/smoky. Poured pitch black with a thick head. Flavor was chocolatey and malty, with slight alcohol bite. Mouthfeel was smooth as silk. I really liked this beer, it kicked my ass.

Apr 24, 2008 Bonus bottle from tonraner on 3/24/08. Thanks! pours with a big 3 finger head, which almost overflows my pint glass. Initially smell is a little grainy, like hay, and like brewing day. A hint of roastiness escapes the expedition-like dark tan frothy head. The opaque liquid pours thick like molasses. Lots of roast in the taste. Like pouring coffee grinds on my tongue. Lingering bitterness. Dry. A bit ashy. Tolerable, but I’m not a fan of these roasty cigarette butt dry imperial stouts. Imperial stouts are hit or miss with me. Some of them I love (like Darkness, but then who doesn’t love it), some I dislike (Like Peche Mortel). After trying ones I dislike, like this, I get discouraged and want drink IPAs or gueuzez for a while.

Apr 18, 2008 This is certainly an ale that can stand up to the beer abuser that is FX Matt. A highly fruit forward stout with a dry bitter finish that is appealing.
