On tap at Map Room-- Chicago. Made me think-- oh,...this is what an English style imperial stout tastes like. A bit subdued in palate and complexity. Deifnitely drinkable but almost more like a session imperial stout?

Glassy jet black, brief head. Sweet dark fruits, including raspberry, in the aroma. Big fruit estery body. Sweet and aromatic. Anna says walnut. Goes down so easily for 8.4%.

Sep 1, 2008 Bottled (8% ABV). The body is blacka s coal with a medium sized and persistent and almost creamy brown head. Very nice appearence and so id the aroma that has a medium maltiness, with some roastiness and notes of coffee, chocolate and some berries and smoke. Complex nose, maybe slightly less powerful for the style, but far from weak.The flavour has a medium sweetness and you are hit by the roasted malts that are quite strong. Some smoke too and the usual notes of coffee, chocolate and licorice. Medium body and not much more, soft/average carbonation, medium/long finish with medium bitterness. Lightly alcoholic. Tasty and drinkable imperial stout.

Jul 30, 2008 Strong aroma, dark fruits mainly. after it warms up i also get coffee.
dark brown, light brown head.
flavor dark fruits, banana, coffee, some boose flavor that i disliked, but only when cold, was better when warmer.
actually it does not taste entirely like a porter, more like an aged beer of some sort. or a mix. For an aged beer it is very very good.
