Jun 23, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours deep brown almost black, virtually no head to speak of. Nose carried big aromas of black fruits with molasses and coffee. Finish was creamy and very complex. Different than most Imperial Stouts, which makes it a winner in my book.

Jun 19, 2008 22 oz. bottle. A jet-black pour with a smallish chestnut head. Aroma of dark chocolate, vanilla beans, caramel and some light citrusy hoppiness. Goes down very smooth. Almost oily mouthfeel. Very sweet upfront with loads of caramel and chocolate. Finishes with a roasty bitterness. Some alcohol is present throughout. Solid stout.

Jun 18, 2008 Bomber pours thick and black into a snifter like motor oil. Opaque as beer can get. Had to pour aggressively to get a small head - dark tan in colour. Wow, what a stout. Aroma of all the best stouts - chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, molasses, hops as always from southern tier, but not so much alcohol. Considering it’s 11%abv, I don’t hint the insinuation of such in the aroma. The same applies to the taste. All roasted chocolate on the tongue - absolutely delicious. Leaves a creamy, oily layer of smoothness on the palate with a taste that lingers until the next sip. Again, wow, what a stout.

Jun 18, 2008 22 ounce bottle. Pours black with a dark brown head. The aroma is malt with a strong alcohol finish, The taste is malt, chocolate and coffee. There is also some molasses and the oat taste is definitely there. There is surprisingly little alcohol taste for how much there was in the smell. Very good beer would buy again

Jun 15, 2008 Pours opaque black with a small but well retained beige head. The aroma is roastes malts, dry oats, and a little chocolate liquor. The flavor starts with some sweet milk chocolate notes followed quickly with a dry, plain oatmeal taste that ends with a little brown sugar, mild vanilla extract, and semi-sweet coffee. A little alcohol present but not overly boozy. Quite enjoyable.
