3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap at Rattle’n’Hum. Sweaty, molasses, malt factory aroma. Hot, astringent, severely lacking in flavor. Chemicals and carbonic acid. A complete disaster of an imperial stout, more akin to an imperial dry stout or something.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Paradiso in DC: Pours an oily opaque with a smallish creamy beige head. Has a sweet dark caramel and chocolate nose with some roasted notes and some dark fruits. Starts with good body and sweetness with a complex balance of dark chocolate and molasses before a slightly hoppier bittersweet finish with some lingering coffee presence. A pretty true to style and enjoyable imperial stout.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft. Pours a black body with a tan off white head. Dark malt tones, light chocolate and molasses . Chewy malt tones, hints of char, a bit soapy with a bittering hop tones. If it wasn’t for this poor finish the body and initial flavor were enjoyable, but that soapy ox finish was undesirable.

Courtesy of thirdeye11. Almost black color/ rich tan head. Dusty black malt, chocolate aromas. Good dark chocolate, deep roasted malt flavors with a mildly bitter boozy finish.
