Oct 19, 2006 This was really smoky, more so than a usual imp. stout. aroma and flavor were mild. by no means a bold stout. alcoholic, and got more so as it warmed up and less chocolately. It was a very bitter type of chocolate too. not a good imperial stout.

Oct 18, 2006 black pour dense tan head, not much lacing. Well roasty aroma some light chocolate hints a tiny bit of coffee, pretty light aroma for a "highly rated IS". Good well coated palate, nice and thick. Flavor is a good amount of roast malt & grain soem light bitter coccoa powder and a touch of coffee, plus an odd bit of flavor I can’t place that makes it feel a little off. Not bad.

Oct 14, 2006 Bottle sample at Clifton Beer Fest. Poured dark brown with an average fizzy brown head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted sweet malty aroma. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Medium complex sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. This is a standout beer.

Oct 13, 2006 Great dark color, aroma of chocolate, coffee and roast. Great dark malt flavors, chocolate, coffee, dark cherry flavor, molasses, pretty dry. Alcohol is hidden reasonably well. I had the Heresy a few weeks ago which is the oak aged version beer, very nice as well, but this is more of a daily drinker.
