Sep 18, 2008 oh so tastey! dark and thick, roasted chocolate and coffee flavors endure while it kicks you in the backside. personally, this is my favorite beer at the moment.

Sep 14, 2008 Bomber - Poured a very black/brown with almost not head (tan) or carbonation. Aroma is strong of bitter chocolate, coffee, dark roasted malts and a bit of dark fruits. Flavor is quite bitter with lots of coffee, lots of dark chocolate and plenty of dark fruit (prune, date, raisins) and roasted malts. Very thick, chewy and really smooth... palate is amazing. Finish is lingering, medium bitter and full of chocolate. This is an AWESOME beer!

Sep 12, 2008 22 ozer with a Kahlua cigar. Poured a jet black into a snifter. Aroma of bitter chocolate, coffee and some dark fruit as well. Flavor is chocolate and coffee. Drinks like a dessert. Full bodied with mild carbonation. Great beer. Have a bottle of Alesmith Speedway. Only hope its as good as this.

Sep 8, 2008 This was my reward for having to wait the summer out for football. Yes!!! Pour black and oily with a thick dark tan head. Aroma is dark fruit, chocolate malt, coffee, and touches of fruit. Really good aroma. Taste is decadent and thick, very desert like with lots of chocolate malt, coffee and a nice malty sweetness. Creamy and sweet, this is just an awesome version of a great style.

Sep 7, 2008 Black body, small tan head. Chocolate and coffee as usual. Everything about this brew is good, but the only thing that really stands out is the balance of flavors. Seems like kind of a "benchmark" imperial stout - good in every way, but not really outstanding in any way. A slight disappointment, but excellent regardless.

does not count Sep 7, 2008 A perfect example of its style. The color is as black is crude oil and the texture is so thick you could almost take a bight out of it. The aroma is not too powerful but typical of the style, licorice and nutmeg. If you want an Imperial Stout you couldn’t do much better.

Sep 6, 2008 Black body with tan head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee, as you’d expect. The flavor is quite well balanced. However, I don’t find it interesting, which is it’s one big flaw. There’s no quality that makes me surprised at how good the beer is. The alcohol is nicely suppressed. Sticky sweet too. Creamy, thick body. All right, beer, but I’m a little disappointed.
