May 9, 2009 light eggshell head, translucent, but black. Dissapointing- I had been waiting for this guy to show his head in Miami and now I realize that I wasn’t missing out on much. A very tame impy stout. Caustic and very inky tasting/smelling. I think this was from Daknole, or from Chris of Fresh Beer inc. Either way, thanks.

May 9, 2009 solid style all the way, has got a rich flavor of coffee and cocoa. the malts are greatly toasted. rich flavors all the way. the palate seems a bit thinnish but it doesn’t take away from anything. this a fantastic beer to have.

May 9, 2009 The aroma is full of alcohol, toasted malt, caramel, molasses, coffee, and chocolate. The appearance is black with a large tan head. The flavor is like the aroma but burnt and astringent. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s overrated.

May 9, 2009 Bottle.Black with a small head. Traces of chocolate and the expected full body. Powerful but there was something lacking that meant it didn’t score the 4 plus I had anticipated.

May 7, 2009 Pours as black as my poop after I drink too much pepto bismol.
The short brown head hints at the roasty goodness awaiting.
This is just masterfully crafted. Its smooth, not overly roasted in the malt department. The coffee taste is not too overpowering covering up the malt. Just very complimentary.
It warms my face with the 10%+ abv, and warms my crotch with is awesome yet simple flavor profile.

May 6, 2009 Pours thick back. Thin head, disipates quickly. Great flavor, slightly sweet. Coffee, lots of chocolate, some toffee flavors. Just a little roasted flavor. What a great stout!

May 6, 2009 Updated: May 11, 20092007: The best out of the three I rated. Much more well developed than the ’08 and ’09. Good chocolate notes.
2008 Re-Rate: II thought this was just OK. Strong aroma with chocolaty coffee notes. Flavor not like aroma, some chocolate and coffee but strong alcohol burn that was not as enjoyable. Harsh on the tongue.
2009: Better than ’08, not close to ’07. Very different taste compared to them though. Much more unique tasting (that doesn’t make it great. I’d let this age.
