Bottle @ Steve’s Foco, courtesy of Veldrid. Thanks Jeff! Pours a deep brown/black appearance with a nice brown head. Toasty, thick dark chocolate, light brownie syrup, light vanilla, slightly burnt aroma. Light coffee, a touch herbal, lightly floral, lightly fruity, easy drinking thick dark chocolate flavor. Tasty brew.

0.65l bottle from my secret summer Santa Veldrid. This is a lovely looking oily jet-black one with a big creamy chocolate top that has some bubbles on the top of it. Looks amazing in the glass. In the aroma I get traces of dark chocolate, roasted and burned malts, sweet corn, cold coffee, cough pastilles, soy sauce and some leathery licorice. It's not extreme in a sense that it hits you in the face, more subtle and nuanced, but quite nice. It has a soft gently carbonated carbonation level and a thick oily, yet silky creamy and smooth mouthfeel. The flavors are mainly dark roasted with some burned traces, but there is also chocolate, dried blueberries and a soft cold coffee-acidity in this one. Ends surprisingly mouthdrying and almost a bit astringent. Lot's of flavor and a fine imp stout. 27.10.2012

From the 8/2012 3R6P tasting +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a large foamy dark brown head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweet cocoa, anise and cherry. The flavor was sweetish and bitter with floral and fruity hops and notes of cherry, anise, root beer and a bit of charcoal. Long bitter floral hop finish with lingering black licorice and charcoal. Moderately full bodied. Decent.

22 ounce bottle into snifter. Pours very dark brown color with a dense 1 finger tan head with great retention that reduces to a fairly thick lacing cap. Some decent lacing is left on the glass. Aromas of dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, dark fruits, and maybe a bit of smoke as well. Nice aromas here, with good strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, caramel, and some dark fruits. A small amount of bitterness noticed on the finish that lingers with some spiciness. Big chocolate and roasted flavors linger on the finish as well. Light to medium carbonation and very full bodied. No alcohol on the taste and a decent warming on the finish. Very well hidden for the alcohol level. Very creamy and viscous body. All around great imperial stout! Very well put together.

Bottle - thanks to bigmmartin. True to the label, pours black like oil. Topped with a small, creamy brown head. Aroma is roasty, chocolate, and tangy with some floral hops. Sort of a tangy sweetness. Taste has a little bite to it, roasty with espresso and bittersweet chocolate. A little bit on the sweet side, but more of that tangy/hoppy/baker’s chocolate kind of thing helps. Ends with some roast. Not to shabby, but a bit sweet for my taste.
