22 oz. bottle. Bottle is over a year old. Don’t remember where the hell I got it. Light retention in the snifter. Nose is rich roasted malts, dark-roasted coffee, dark chocolate. Similar to the nose with a big, rich, peppery maltiness, lots of roasted barley and molasses, alcohol is lightly noticeable. Medium-to lighter in body with a creamy texture. This stout is right on the line of being really great. I feel like it is missing one element to make it really out standing. Still solid overall. Nice work.

Thanks Chris for sharing this one after I got stranded and my flight was cancelled.

A - Completely black just so dark and a nice head that fades fast.

S - Pretty much the nose of a quality imperial stout. all of the standard aromas are there. chocolate, coffee, espresso, chocolate cake, etc. everything is spot on.

T - Wow again, spot on. lots of chocolate, a roasted oak and coffee with waves of nice clean bitterness. malty finish it’s just hard to break down this beer because it’s all imperial stout in all of the right ways.

M - Creamy, filling, very roasted nuts finish that sticks on for a long time.

O - I’m not going to say it’s my favorite stout but it’s in line and in style with every thing I like from Imperial stouts.

On tap @ Mikkeller. A really deep dark one, let's call it black in color and the top is almost absence. A thin sidesticking brown thing, but I would not call it a head. Not to extreme on the nose really, Kinda hard to get anything here. Let's let it heat some first... Licorice perhaps? The sweet kind I think. Think I'll have a sip. Oh, yeah., it most definitely has some big flavor this! Lots of licorice, the pastil-kind. It's heavy roasted, kinda cloudy-creamy in the mouth and as I mentioned lots of flavor. The hops is really present here, almost in a grassy way. Some cold coffee and pine cones also. Lots of dark chocolate in the finish and aftertaste. Really yummy, but where did the aroma go? 02.05.2013
