Bomber. Pours a dark brown with a medium frothy light tan head with a good sticky lacing along the glass. Roasted chocolate malt aroma with raisin. Medium mouthfeel with a smooth roasted malt with chocolate. Hides the alcohol very well making it easy to drink. A very impressive imperial stout from BVB.

Slightly muddy dark brown. Chewy, chocolatey aroma...nice basic impy. Oaty notes make for a thick, soft body. Chewy, with nice depth of warming milk chocolate. Rich, tasty stuff. Simple impy, but good.

22oz bottle I bought at South Bay and shipped back to DC. Pours an opaque, slightly oily black with a creamy, frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, licorice, earthy, spicy, a little vanilla. Flavor was sweet, bready, doughy, chocolate, coffee, nuts, toast, light citrus, tobacco. Finish is BIG on coffee bitterness with sort of a wet tobacco leave thing that wasn’t working for me. All in all, sorta average for an Imperial Stout.

7th June 2008. Thick black stout with a foamy brown head. Silky smooth palate. An undertone of red fruit, cherry and raspberry. A dry bitter coffee finish puts a rough edge on it and seperates it from the very best Impy Stouts.

Black color; medium head. Roasted malts aroma, later there are some hops too, and very light vanilla, light alcohol. Strong body, strong dark caramel flavor, dark chocolate, light liquorice, pleasant hidden sweetness; powerful bitterness. Straight but pleasant and powerful Imperial Stout.

Pitch black coloured body with a super dense tan head. Bottle and glass foam significantly after a bit of the bottle is poured - interesting and messy at the same time! Aroma of molasses, roasted malt, milk, cherries and a bunch of lactic and sour scents. Full-bodied; Assertive roasted malt and coffee flavours with bitter nuts and caramel behind. Aftertaste shows a lot of roasty flavours with some light hops, milk and chocolate as well. Overall a potent and well crafted beer. Perhaps too much sourness and egginess around the edges and not enough mellow flavours. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at Lee’s Discount Liquors in Las Vegas, Nevada on 07-February-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 25-June-2009.
