The most decadent creation ever to be crafted in FCB’s brewhouse. Deep roasty flavors, rich chocolate nose, coffee undertones and impeccable balance are the result of imperializing an already flawless brew.

Bottle. Very dark beer. Not as chocolately as I thought it would be. A little more bitter then I thought it would be. Otherwise a very good beer. Did taste the slight coffee flavor, didn’t really get the licorice that is sometimes mentioned. Will drink again. Recommended.

Bottle at home. Aroma is dark malt, caramel, dark chocolate, rye bread, liquorice, raisins, roast, hint of vanilla, dark fruits. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a moderate roasty bittersweet finish. Body is just above medium. Good one!

Older bottle from the cellar. Solid black with a thin tightly bubbled tan head that shows moderate retention. Roasty and rich chocolate aroma and flavor.

I bought this on my last trip to Colorado.
This pours black with a 2 finger head of tan foam. Some lacing and above average head retention.
The smell is mostly of roasted malt with a light chocolate smell. There's also some coffee that becomes stronger the more whiffs I take.
The taste has the coffee bitterness up front that's supported by roasted malt and a fairly light chocolate flavour. The bitterness is also very noticeable right before the finish which itself, has a bit of sweetness to it.
It has a medium mouthfeel and the alcohol is hidden pretty well; nice job done here as it has some good flavours going on and is fairly drinkable.

12oz bottle. Opaque brown-black. Soapy beige head. Aspirin dry cocoa aroma. Rich doughy chocolate flavor. Not as rich as a typical Imperial Stout.,but a little bigger than a straightforward Stout too. Sort of tame, uninspired. Decent enough.
