500ml bottle (thx, Peter K.!). Pours a very dark brown with the same color head. Aroma is fruity, some burnt sugar, roasted malt, slight chocolate. Taste is moderate to high sweet, fruity, roasted malt and sugar. This one looks like a base for Skeleton Key and BOYD, but IMO it is better than the Skeleton Key. Good stuff.

Oily black, completely black with a 3 finger tan head. fades to a thin 1 finger crema-like head. Licorice, baker’s chocolate, fudge hints and old dark roasted coffee beans. Holy bitter / smokey. this one is intense. You get ashy tobacco tootsie roll, cocoa, shoe polish and the finish is a piney barley flavor. Very intense.

Bottle from the brewery. Opaque dark brown with a two finger lingering dark khaki head. Nose is chocolate, molasses, coffee, plum, candied fruit and light vanilla. Light sweet malt supports a medium bitter chocolate and coffee. Mouth is full and creamy with soft carbonation and a lingering finish where the alcohol just manages to make itself known. Excellent. 9-/5-/8/4+/16+

2013 version drank early 2016. Pours out like engine oil. Pitch black dark, tons of dark fruit, roasted malt, molasses and cacao in the nose. Tons of dark fruit, molasses, roasted malts, medium dry body, alcohol is well hidden. Low carbonation. Nice lingering malt and cacao finish. Excellent example of an imperial stout. Another winner from Bellwoods.

Pours a thick oily black with reddish brown head, dense but only a half of my sausage-like fingers. Nose is malt rich, and sweet, and the booze is lingering in there too. Taste is maltly but a little burnt as well as roasted, but nicely avoids that ashy flavour that so many I.Stouts seem to fall pray too. Sweet syrup lacking much fruit complexity, poorly balanced with a little bitter in the after. You’ll also notice a bit of the booze too. Overall good, not spectac but that’s life. Solid label though.

Bouteille 500ml, gracieuseté d’AlexGenois, merci Alex! Couleur noire opaque, mousse moka fuyante laissant une dentelle. Arôme de malt torréfié en abondance, un peu boisé, cendré, caramel brûlé, alcool. Goût de malt torréfié, café noir, chocolat noir, alcool en fin de bouche, c’est surtout le côté torréfié qui domine. Carbonatation faible, corps dense, huileuse.

Bottle from Bellwoods Brewery Bottle Shop at Ian's in Toronto. Very thick black pour with small dark creamy tan head. Aroma is of very dark fruit, but more dark chocolate, coffee grounds. Lots going on in the aroma. Taste is very big - roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee grounds, some hoppy bitterness. Very rich but not too thick palate. Bitter and boozy finish that lasts. Very good big and complex stout.
