Jul 18, 2008 The aroma holds cocoa, toffee, chocolate, white cake, butterscotch, lactose and vanilla cream. Leans toward the sweet side, but I like it. The body is full on black and holds a two finger thick mocha head that is creamy and lasting. Sweet whipped chocolate, cocoa, sweet cream, roast/burnt bitter malts, dark fruit and fudge. Finishes with a bit of licorice/treacle and burnt molasses. Ok it’s got a bit of diacetyl, but I guess I am a dumbass, because I utterly fail to see why this beer is rated a 57 overall percentile. This is damn tasty.

Feb 1, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with jake65 (thanks!). Poured a dark brown color with a larger sized tan head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, and some coffee. Tastes of roast, chocolate, some caramel, and light coffee. Thinner all the way around for an Imperial Stout (but a decent Stout).

Jan 20, 2008 Draft at WRBC, Grants Pass, OR. Tan small head that was mostly lasting, minimal lacing, opaque, no visible carbonation, and a dark brown hue. Nose was chocolate, roasty and some hop notes. Ditto for the flavor. Mouthfeel was smooth. Light-medium body. Quaffable, but on the light side flavor wise given the style.
