Jan 2, 2008 Extremely dark. Sweet with chocoalte malts on nose and similar taste. Nice balanced IS with some hops but fades fast. Strong with good flavor.

Dec 29, 2007 Great looking nice and dart pours with dark mocha head. Roasty taste and went down very smoothly not over carbonated like some other dark beers.

Dec 21, 2007 Pours jet black with an off white head that quickly fades to a thin layer of foam. This has a sweet nose to it with a typical imperial stout scent. The taste comes across somewhat mild with little hop bitterness. It doesn’t have that big burnt coffe taste with the massive bitterness at the end that I am used to. It is a good brew though.

Dec 17, 2007 no BB date but bottle has been cellared for 8 months...pours black with a cafe au lait colored head that disappears a lot faster than i expected. aroma is candy (bubblegum...like big league chew), chocolate, roasty malts and vanilla. i expected more from the aroma judging from the color! flavor is ashy roasted malts with some acidity and dryness from the roast. also, dried dark fruits (prunes), light chocolate and coffee on the finish. coffee lingers in the aftertaste as well. medium bodied with surprisingly high carbonation. like a toned down imperial stout. it’s light enough to drink a lot of in a session which is pretty uncommon for most imperials

Dec 16, 2007 12-14-07 bottle.
Roasted chocolate mocha aroma - with some alcohol as it warms. Pours a thick creamy black with a tan creamy head. Rich roasted flavor with a smooth and creamy texture. Some alcohol in the taste as well - again only as it really warms. Quite sweet for an imperial stout - surprisingly so. Finish is thick and sweet. Enjoyable overall!

Dec 16, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark brown, almost black, very nice brown head. Aroma is chocolate and malt. Flavor is again chocolate, with some roasted coffee and malt. A nice and easy stout that doesn’t clobber you over the head, very drinkable.
