Bottle. Very dark brown with a cream foam. Aromas are coffee malts with dark chocolate. Yeasty and peppery with decent bitterness and some sweet caramel. Flavours are bitter coffee with spices and yeast. Quite smooth. Good.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. deep brown pour with a thin layer of cream froth. scents of tobacco, smoke and slight hints of wood. very easy on the palate with a very smoky, ashy flavor.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a brown body and a light brown heead with good lacing. Aroma is solid tobbacco, smoke, soot and chocolate. Taste is way too much wood, very bitter, with a sootie, smoldering campfire after taste. Syrupy mouthfeel.

Dark brown body that clearly shows a deep garnet when held to light. A dense khaki head sits on top. The aroma has some black cherries and caramel. There was also some strong malt character in the nose. This was a strange brew, especially for an imperial stout. More like what some US brewers call an Imperial brown. Tastes of sweet black cherries and some caramel come to play. There is also some

Bottle: Moderate depth brown pour with a huge tan head. Smells of Belgian spices, yeast, cloves, and a bit dry/dusty. Perhaps a little toffee. Tastes of a wierd chocolate and coffee blend with heavy roast. Nutty. Some lingering bitters. It did get better as it warmed up, but it seemed more like a porter mixed with a Belgian strong.

one of those glacier broken mountain-like heads...almost cotton candy in appearance, or maybe thick like a milkshake. Unfortunately the beer underneath was a light brown mud. The lightest brown I’ve ever seen on an imperial stout. The nose was just spent grains with a lactic like twang near the end. Flavors were nutty and astringent, hiding alcohol well, but more of a strong nut brown ale than an imperial stout. Its rather sweet with belgian yeast characteristics as well. Some caramel too. Highly carbinated. Not really an imperial stoutish beer, but drinkable nonetheless.

Pours a dark brown with some ruby highlights with a two finger creamy tan head. The nose is sweet, fruity, earthy, has some alcohol, candy, yeasty. The flavor is a tad sweet, some warmth, malty, fruity, rusty, crisp, kind of like a dubbel. The palate is crisp carbonated and warm. Definitely not typical.

Bottle, dark brown pour, some off white head. aroma is somewhat yeasty belgian malt, light roast, and chocolate. the flavor is the same... its odd with the pit fruit belgian malt base, and the stout flavors really arent overpowering like most in this style.
