Draft. Easily one of the best Saranac’s I’ve had. Pours dark, taste is coffee & chox and the alcohol is well disguised.

nice thick black pour, with a very small tan head. Aroma is alot of roasted malt, and not much else. the flavour is again loads of roasted malt, some licorice, a touch of chocolate, and some coffee. the aftertatse is very very bitter, with an intense burnt malt. meh the mouthfeel is quite wattery though, not the greatest imperial stout ive had.

Bottle. Deep dark brown color, almost opague. Roast and cream in the aroma. Chocolate. Roastbitter creamy flavor with ash and chocolate. Full bodied. Easy going yet firm and delicious imperial stout. Maybe a bit simplistic, but well balanced.

Rating from 2010: Der Geruch ist angenehm malzig-süßlich. Im Antrunk vollmundig, süßlicher mit leichter Röstmalznote. Der Hauptteil ist wässrig-flach, leicht röstmalzig-süßlich. Für ein Stout zu flach, obwohl es mit den 9% viel Körper hat. Der Nachgeschmack ist lang, malzig-süßlich.
--> ganz ok, aber nicht umwerfend. Für Bierstil und Preis enttäuschend! --> 9/8/10/8

A deep dark stout with a thin compact brown head. In aroma, smooth soy sauce and chocolate, espresso coffee, with grassy hops. In mouth, a nice and smooth bitter chocolate with licorice notes, molasses, grassy hops, very nicely balanced. Nice!
