Dec 6, 2008 12oz bottle from a trade awhile back. poured right next to old heathen for comparison.... pours close to black with a thin light tan head that stuck around longer than its sibling.... aroma lightly burnt wood, chocolate, and bourbon notes.... flavors of chocolate, vanilla, and bourbon upfront and then almost a sour roasty fruitiness aspect to it that finishes it off. a sweeter more assertive chocolate flavor might have worked better for it. but i digress. still a pretty silky smooth mouthfeel and hides the abv well.

Nov 20, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours black with a small brown head. Nice oak aroma with a very smooth taste of chocolate and wood. Not a palette crusher like some Imperial’s. Good stuff, but could use a bit more depth and complexities.

Oct 28, 2008 Dark brown almost black with a nice tan head. Aroma of dried fruits and oak is very nice. Flavor starts sweet and ends with some hop bitterness. Nice dry finish. Very good.

Visuals: medium high design, black, oily, thick tan head, great, sticky lace. 5 out of 5.
Taste: expertly balanced, heavy malt, heavy hops, heavy strength, heavy craft. 10 out of 10.
Palate: high quality, sandy texture, long chocolate finish. 5 out of 5.
Overall: It’s almost a crime for me to have beer this good for this price. This is a fantastic, affordable, high quality treat, I’ll have it again for sure, a new favorite, high value, expertly crafted. About the only thing I don’t like about the whole experience is the cheesy graphic on the label. 20 out of 20.
