Poured from 355mL can (abv listed as 11%). Black with tan head. Tobacco, sweet roast malt, mild chocolate, a bit of booziness. Booze make it a little harsh, but otherwise it's quite good.

355 ml can. 11%. Pours a very dark brown with full head that settles quickly. Aromas of roasted malts, dusty chocolate, chalk, and a bit of dark fruit. Flavors show a lot of roasted malts, somewhat acidic and bitter, with some creamy coffee and vanilla notes thrown in, but not really adding balance. Some heat. Very bitter roasty finish

12oz at Phill's place shared with Alex. Appearance: dark brown with beige. Aroma: fruity, some ink, some grassy notes, roasted malts. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: good Russian Imperial Stout, but it's too roasty for me.

Can. Very dark brown with a tan head that settles around a cm. Somewhat vague aroma of dried fruit and bread with roast in the background. Getting towards oily. The dried fruit sweetness is there in the taste but soon is swept away by heavy roast and almost burnt coffee. At first it seems over the top but after a while a balance of a sort emerges - the brash end needs the sweet beginning.

355ml can. Pours an opaque dark brown, almost black with a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, caramel, licorice, prunes and dark chocolate. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, caramel and bitter coffee with a dry, boozy finish. Medium to full body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Very nice.

Good roast, some coffee and some dark chocolate. A little caramel. Pours dark with good head and lacing. Great balance, and well done. Hopefully these guys keep this up like viagra. Tap at brewpub.

Black colour, beige head. Straight imperial stout with bold roast character and some tobacco. Warming alcohol.
2016-08-24, tasting at Matt's, bottle, 7-4-7-4-14=36
Dark color, near black. Nice aroma, dark caramel, a bit bready and dusty; moderately sweet, the body seems thinner because of the strong alcohol feeling; some roasted nuts, some cocoa nibs.
Quite good.

Medium brown. No head. Has a bit of fudgey character, light toastiness, and an overall touch of barrel. This is light on the body, a touch of chocolate, and a light fruity taste. Would like this to be bigger in body.

650mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt upfront, with not much else going on. Flavour brings out toasted malt, some roast and bready notes. Weak and ucoordinated, but inoffensive. It's alright.
