Apr 24, 2009 a monster of a stout. heavy black pour, creamy tan head. nose of chocolate and raisen. mouthfeel is thick. taste is heavy roast and dark chocolate with a bit of carmel. a knockout imp stout that hides the alcohol quite well. no wonder this bad boy is rated in the top best. now if MN would only start carry it, bastards.

Apr 22, 2009 Bottle Pours a thick dark brown with a creamy tan head. The head laces well and seems to last. Has a great aroma of coffee, chcolate, and a touch of black cherry soda. The aroma is exceptional. Has a good carbination and a good mouthfeel. The flavors are very good and complex. Blended very well with only a slight alcohol burn but it is a good one. Has a solid finish and a good aftertaste. This has a full body. It is a hearty stout which is great.

Apr 22, 2009 Hummm, thought I rated this big boy. Notice how I didn’t say bad because it wasn’t bad (sarcastically bad). A solid, complex Imp Stout but not about it stood out to make me love it. Do I need to say the color of the pour? Didn’t think so but minimal head. Aroma is mostly dark chocolate and with hints of raisins, wood, and coffee. Flavor is well balanced on the sweeter side. The palate is slightly alcoholic and a little cloying.

Apr 22, 2009 Bottle. Poured black with somewhat thin brown head. Aroma is complex, sweet malt in the foreground with some coffee, dark fruit, and anise. Flavor is rich and malty with notes of chocolate, raisin, wood, and mild hops. Very creamy, finishes mildly bitter. Very nice!

Apr 19, 2009 Label kicks @ss! Easy pour, low carbonation, very light head. Initial smells yields coffee, dark chocolate... which the first taste confirms. Further tasting reveals more pleasant "burnt" tones, some dried fruits.

Apr 18, 2009 Updated: Apr 24, 2009For the style, this is dangerously drinkable. Maybe the best of its class. Roasted, chocolate, blackness, all of the important characteristics. And nearly perfectly done. Hints of EVERYTHING but perfectly balanced. A tremendous accomplishment.
Vintage: FRESH 2009
UPDATE: Had a year old 2008. DAMN smooth. All the same flavors, just perfectly connected. Maybe too smooth, as I like to punched in the face with hops. But fantastic nonetheless.
