2015 GABF gold medal and 2014 GABF silver medal in the imperial stout category. Double Negative pours jet black with burnt orange highlights. A long lasting tan head leaves abundant lacing. Aromas bursting from the glass include espresso, bitter chocolate, caramel, black currant and blueberry. Creamy and viscous on the palate, the flavor initially follows the nose. A pop of smooth bitterness comes after, and then a lingering, roasty finish.

Bottle shared around the campfire during HamTech Reunion 2014. Thanks to the Sandman. Pours black-brown with a foamy tan head. Good stuff, with nice char, chocolate and dark fruits. Full bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Finishes with scorched earth, burnt meat and cocoa. Solid.

Bomber purchased at a Long Island Whole Foods - thick black pour - intense nose of roast, espresso, licorice, smoke, dark chocolate - fairly thick mouthfeel - flavor is bittersweet chocolate up front, cut by a moderate acidity - later some deep roast, smoke - alcohl warmth late becomes somewhat boozy after a while, leading to downright heat in the throat - has a lot of potential to be world class, but some rough edges in the flavor need to be smoothed out.
