Pitch black coloured body with a thin brown head. Very oily, viscous look with a pungent licorice and roasted malt scent and a little vanilla and a touch of oak. Full-bodied; Deep strong alcohol and roasted malt taste with a little vanilla and coffee noticeable and a strong licorice taste throughout. Aftertaste is quite strong and shows a lot of alcohol, along with a good bitter, yet nice finish. Overall, a good imperial stout from a brewpub and definitely nice that they have such an offering. Worth sampling if they have it available when you come in! I sampled this beer on draught, served in a snifter at the brewpub in Washington on 12-February-2011.

A deep dark stout woth a thin creamy dark brown head. A smooth dark chocolate aroma, with light dark fruit notes. In mouth, a classy RIS with lightly sweet chocolate, bittering hops, licorice, burned wood and warming alcohol, very classy. Rich and smooth. On tap at brewpub, Feb. 28 2010.
