bottle. Black Pour, small mocha head. Aroma of subtly fruity malts, dark roast coffee, light cocoa. Thin mouth feel for the style, soft carb. Alcohol is well hidden, finish is a bit thin, more strong roast, and coffee.

22 oz bottle poured, shared by Matt. Thanks! Celebrating the Bengals 7th TD of the year, even though there is very little about this game to celebrate. Pours black with a rocky tan foam head. Slightly dough malt and licorice aroma. Flavor is smooth, and a soft sweet. Chocolate, and a stout unique fruitiness. A late heat to it, reminding the double digit abv bill. Definitely get a unique imperial stout here with the belgian yeast. Overall a pleasant, very tasty stout here. Impressive.

Black pour under a dark head. Licorice, roasted malts, chocolate, molasses, and faint smoke. Complex and full of intrigue. Finish is sharp and bitter with cocoa and more licorice, especially as it warms. Body is on the medium to near thin side, which aids its drinkability. A very enjoyable Imperial.

Bottle from Legacy Liquor, Vancouver; 2 years old
Black color, small head. Mild aroma of roasted malts. Lean body, some roasted malt flavor, also quite sour; low bitterness.
Is this what it was supposed to be or is this the result of an infection? Not too bad.

Pitch black color. Black strap molasses, dark fruit tobacco and dark chocolate in the nose. Very enticing. Low carbonation, big strong Belgian yeast with lots of molasses. Rich, to the point of almost cloying but smooth and moderately sweet. Nice lingering dark fruit and dark chocolate finish. Bitterness is very low. Excellent t

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of nice liquorice notes with some light fruity notes which mix well with some light black chocolates notes. Taste is also dominated by some liquorice notes which are well-balanced by some black chocolate notes with some light roasted malt with some light fruity notes also noticeable. Body is semi-full for style with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I really enjoyed the liquorice notes and the creamy texture of this beer.
