Nov 17, 2007 Aroma is predominantly dark fruit, with a touch of chocolate/coffee noticeable. Pours a pitch black, with a thin cocoa colored head. Flavor of coffee, roasted grains, chocolate, a touch of spice, and a hint of vanilla. Nice full, creamy mouthfeel. Alcohol is not noticeable at all. Very reasonable priced and tasty beer.

Nov 16, 2007 355 ml. Pitch color with a small-medium head that hangs pretty well. Cocoa, raisins, and sweet-earthy spice aroma. Flavors of cocoa, dates, coffee, wood char; slight hints of: smoke, mesquite-like spicy herbs; alcohol. Palate is medium-heavy and pretty smooth (not quite velvety though).

Nov 14, 2007 Bottle. Pours a jet black with a fizzy inch think tan head that quickly dissapates. Thin foamy lacing on the glass. The aroma is pleasing, dark fruits, chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. The flavor is very smooth. Chocolate, coffee, with a clean finish. This is last years batch and has aged wonderfully.

Nov 14, 2007 12oz bottle-pours black, thin head, rich chocolate aroma noted. Good flavor but kind of thin for an imperial stout. No alcohol burn in this one. Smooth mouth feel with little bitterness. A good stout overall but not "chewy" like others.

Nov 12, 2007 Updated: Jan 23, 2008chocolate, coffee, roasty, medium sweetness, medium body, long finish.
Try this in a glass accompanied by some Ben & Jerry’s Dublin Mudslide ice cream. You’d swear that these two things shared ingredients with each other – the pairing is faultless.

Nov 9, 2007 Pours mahogany into a snifter. Mocha head quickly subsides to skim surface. Deep roasted chocolate aromas. Smooth with upfront chocolate caramel with a lasting alcohol espresso burn.

Nov 7, 2007 Bottled. Black, thin, spotty - lace quickly dissapates. Nose was solid with choco malts and coffee. Flavor was flat out off. Pretty damn acidic and unpleasant - infected? Body was oily/thin for an impy stout and definitely a negative. Either I had a bad bottle - or this stuff is just not good. Didn’t finish it....

Nov 3, 2007 deep black. rich tan head. robust aroma of chocolate malt with fruit components. flavor is dominated by the carbonation up front. later the roasted malt and more so sweet chocolate flavors make their way to the surface. The flavor never seems to achieve the robustness an imperial stout should obtain. The finish is wet, slightly toasty and mostly sweet. A great big stout, I don’t know if this brew really achieves imperial status.
