22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out dense roasted malt and dry cocoa. Flavour brings out dry cocoa powder, followed by roasted malt, and a touch of coffee. Very dry and roasty, with a very full body. Exceedingly highly drinkable for an impie stout, with a cocoa powdery and roasted palate. Awesome stuff.

Tap. Pours opaque pitch black with a medium brown head that diminishes quickly but leaves great lacing. Aroma is dark roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate and a bit of soy sauce. Flavor is the same, rich and full bodied, lightly sweet, medium bitter.

Medium dark brown head. Opaque black body. Deep black chocolate and earth aroma with cocos notes. Dry-sweet malty alcohol and cocoa taste with roasty notes. Fullish body. Mild, faintly hot mouthfeel. Dry-sweet roasty caramelly aftertaste with mineraly burnt alcohol notes. Very nice and highly drinkable. (0.65l bottle from City Beer, San Francisco.)

Black color, with brownish head. Very nice aroma of roasted malts, with light vanilla, coffee, alcohol. Good body strength, with roasted malt and chocolate flavor, some cardboard, liquor; the alcohol creates a nice warming feeling.
Excellent Imperial Stout.
