A full-bodied beer with deep chocolate color, velvety malt texture, and a dark-roasted flavor, with hints of smokiness and coffee. It combines the dryness of traditional Dublin-style stout with the strength and character of Imperial Stout.

22 ounce bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours a very dark brown color appearing an opaque black in the glass. Medium frothy brown head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of chocolate with lots of dark, roasty leathery tobacco notes. Taste is dark, dark roasted malts, leafy bitter hop notes, tobacco, coffee. Fairly bitter. Smooth, creamy, medium-full bodied.

Shaker pint draft at the brewpub in Seattle, Washington. Pour is opaque black perhaps a hint of dark chocolate brown. Filled pretty tall, but still a nice 1/2 inch khaki head stands out. Aroma is roasty, toasty malt balanced nicely against a bright pine hoppiness. Fresh, clean, balanced - nice. Taste is the nose with the roast, pine and overall char experience all playing together and integrating nicely. The balance is really spot on, and is beautifully accented by a dry mineral finish. Palate is medium to thin bodied, with active carbonation and the crisp dry mineral finish. Immensely drinkable and enjoyable. This nailed the roasty, hoppy, lighter bodied stout style that I really love.

A deep dark stout with a super thick lacing dark moka head. In aroma, dark chocolate over roasted coffee grinds, some vanilla beans, and some wooden notes. In mouth, a beautiful and classy stout, with loads of black coffee, herbal qualities, light licorice, and some nice light C-hops. Turely interesting. On tap at brewpub, Sept. 12 2009.

Bomber. Pours a very dark brown with a medium creamy tan head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong roasted malt with alcohol, smoke, and chocolate. Full bodied with a thick roasted malt and oatmeal flavor with a bitter finish. A very good stout from Pike.

Black body and brownish head. Good lacing. Aroma of dark burned espresso and chocolate muffins. The flavour a mix of the above as well as anise, bitter chocolate and and a hint vanilla pod. Lingering bittersweet ending. 650ml bottle purchased in Seattle for our Superpower beer session part II in Tromsø, 29.01.09

Pours mahogany-tinged black into an English pint. Mocha micro head with excellent retention recedes leaving slight spiders. Cocoa and smoke aromas. Thin to medium bodied with upfront dark chocolate turning to a lasting charred chocolate syrup and espresso finish.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Pours black with a tan head. Roast malt aroma, some coffee. Roast malt bitterness dominates the flavor profile. Smooth bitter.

650ml bottle airborne from Seattle - big thanks to Stefan and Elisabeth for providing this great stout for a beer session in Tromsø. Pitch black body under a brownish, lacing-head. Smell of roasted coffee beans overlaid by moderately sweet malts. Powerful and well balanced taste of dark chocolate, anise, burnt coffee and hops – all added a vanilla touch. Bittersweet ending. Medium to full bodied. IBU 65 [Tromsø, 29.01.2009].
