Sampled in between Ratebeer and Brewver, so not much specific notes. Big imperial stout ( house style of Cycle, i guess ! ) Very nice.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of deep chocolate notes, fudge with some residual sugar notes are also perceptible. Taste is a mix of deep chocolate notes with some sweet notes, some fudge notes with some light bourbon notes. Body is full with good level of carbonation with no real apparent alcohol notes. Solid party stout with more balance than expected.

Dark brown, rich and chocolatey aroma. Light coconut, nuts, this is really rich and tasty. Nice barrel accents and a rich, flavourful base beer.
