Jolly Roger himself smoked the malt for this Imperial Stout. This is a massive stout with a huge roasted maltiness and complex smoky, chocolate flavors coming through strong thanks to the gentle handpump and correct cellar temperature.
Note: ABV varies 9-10.4%.

Bottle thanks to travita. Pours with a dark brown head atop a completely black body. Aroma of alcohol, banana esters coupled to fusel alcohol, with chocolate and light smoke. Taste is chocolates and lots of alcohol for the ABV, needs some time to mellow out. A bit of Belgian yeast notes and candi sugar notes at the back end. Syrupy, light carbonation.

Bottle @ jbrus. Dark color. Aroma is malty, coffee, bit licorice. Quite bitter taste. Decent imperial stout, but probably is a bit weak after all that fantastic stuff we have been drinking during this session.

22 oz bottle courtesy of mj (as acrdz was once known). Pour is ink black, thick with a nice 1/2 inch tan head. Aroma of soft roasted maltiness. A bit of licorice. Taste is the licorice and roast from the nose though is nicely integrated and smooth. No alcohol presence at all, nice. More of an imperial porter taste. Overall, quite tasty.

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a modest brown head. Sheets of sticky lacing. Chocolate and roasty scent. Coffee and dark fruits. Rich and savory sweet. Flavor is more roasted malts and chocolate with a molasses presence and a bit of coffee. No real bitters here. Perhaps a bit smokey... Overall very smooth and a rich flavor.

(6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Black-colored with a brown head. Aroma of heavily roasted malt, some chocolate and alcohol. Sweet flavor with almost burnt malt, dark chocolate and a bit of dark fruitiness. Quite full-bodied.
