Nov 21, 2007 Bottled. Well, it’s opaque black with a low firm pale brown head. Big if a bit overdone (not balanced and just to big) sweet coffee aroma, sweet chocolate, nuts with a whiff of vanilla. Full, sticky chcocolately and a bit cloyingly caramely dense flavour and mouth feel. Hints of brown sugar and chocolate liquor. Long sweet finish sweetened arabica coffee. Not much finesse in here, just to sweet to me.

Nov 19, 2007 This dark brown ale required a vigorous pour to produce a decent brown head. The aroma is an enticing blend of chocolate and coffee. It tastes like a very nice after dinner coffee drink, with just the right amount of sweetness and coffee flavor, along with a noticeable but not overwhelming alcoholic finish.

Nov 18, 2007 Trade with bmartin. The color was dark chocolate/black. The head was creamy and very dark tan. The aroma was soy sauce, sweet malt, roast, coffee, and molasses. The flavor was roasty, coffee, soy sauce, molasses, very strong malt, chocolate, and vanilla. The palate was medium/thick bodied and smooth. The finish was roasty.

Nov 18, 2007 Updated: Feb 16, 2009Rating based on 2007 batch. 2008 was not nearly as good.
Thanks bmartin. Pour is a beautiful dark black with little to no head, wispy chestnut brown. Managed to coax a one finger brown creamy head. The aroma is extremely rich, woody, bourbon, molasses, chocolate, coffee, light alcohol. The flavor is extremely big, very thick and sweet, rich roasty chocolate, coffee, molasses, feels like motor oil, berries, alcohol is mild and warming, bourbon, and some waxy hops at the back of the mouth. Fantastic palate, one of the best imperial stouts I’ve ever had.

Nov 2, 2007 One of the better coffee stouts I’ve ever had. Pours a nice thick dark black with minimal head. Later notice it to seem thinner then pour showed. Nose big on sweet chocolatey coffee with a nice caramel kick. Flavor is similar with expresso thrown into the mix as well as a little bit of hop. Very solid beer overall.
