For 2007 the brewers have selected a blend of 7 malts and 7 hops to create our unique annual limited release. When you decide to open this, you will notice a pitch black ale that pours with small brown head. The aroma is full of citrusy and floral notes, not only from the hops added from the boil but also the hops added after fermentation, the dry hop stage. Finally, one taste of this years beer and you will understand why it is so dark, roasted chocolately and malty flavors are abundant from the various dark malts that make up so much of the recipe. It is extremely limited, extremely strong and extremely original, because as we like to say around here "Its all about extremes!"

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of tertons. Pours black with a tint of red and hardly any head - low fill. Aroma has lots of alcohol and cough syrup. Solid body, hard roasted malts and chocolate with quite some malt bitterness in the finish. Has a vague oxidized edge. But quite pleasant. 140310

Low fill - and it shows. Pours muddy brown and flat. Unattractive. The aroma is strong, showing ample oxidation. That has rounded into soy sauce, vague toffee, and sherry. Like a thin SA 3Bock. Toasty, with light milk chocolate. Has a bit of alcohol. The body is thin and the oxidation is perhaps a bit too much.

Bottle at first DC tasting of 2010. Dark maroon color with no head and no lacing. Aroma of alcohol and phenols, with toffee, vanilla and roasted chestnuts. Flavor of creamy chocolate, but alcohol shows through. Nicely complex. Nicest of the three Newports tasted (07, 08 and 09), but more subtle alcohol would help this one out.

Dark brown pour with a thin brown head. Smells roasty, dark fruits, and cocoa. Nice. This has some potential. Flavor is roasted malts and molasses, along with a light amount of vinous fruits. Some faded hops too. Not bad. A little thin on the tail and some brash abv remnants. I’m sensing it was better a year ago...

Cobalt blue bomber from AllDayDrinker; If it was only carbonated! No pressure in the bottle, cork pushed right in; clear very dark brown with no head; nose of chocolate, vanilla, molasses, and alcohol; tates like it’s five years old and oxidized: kind of thin and watery; falvors are there, coffee, chocolate, molasses, and a bourbony alcohol note. Maybe the 4"+ of air in the top and no pressure ruined it. It has all the flavors but with less than a year on the bottle should seem five plus years old!

bottle from cmr1517 at the Fort Wayne tasting - Pours black with a thin tan head. Like the beer we had before it (Southern Tier Choklat), it’s a chocolate imbued imperial stout. It has plenty of roast malt and chocolate in the aroma. The flavor is also very chocolate rich. The body is kind of light for the style. Alcohol and some mild hops dryness comprise the finish. It’s quite good though not as the good as the superb beer we had before it.

Really cool, unique, classic looking bottle that looks like something you’d find on a deserted island. From that bottle, a flat, opaque, slightly watery deep brown brew pours with absolutely zero head with some very faint sediments setting on the side of the glass. Strong aroma of roasted malts. nuts, alcohol, expresso/coffee, brandy, chocolate. Their description says the nose has citrus and floral notes, I’ll let you decide whether that’s true, but if they are there, I wished they were a tad more prominent. Flavor has plenty of roaste malt, coffee, touches of maple syrupy, wood, whiskey, oak, vanilla, soy, choclate and nuts. Finish is very oily, my guess is the alcohol doesn’t help the texture or mouthfeel. Lasting flavor is a bit nutty, coffee bitterness and plenty of legs from the heavy alcohol (think a glass of Johnny Walker). Pretty good, individually the aroma, flavor and finish are good, but it’s not a great marriage. Got a few bottles in the cellar, hopefully things mesh better with age.

I think dragonstout brought this one, thanks! Big acrid chocolate roast malt aroma. Good bittersweet chocolates throughout. Surprisingly smooth for its strength and bigness. Finish is roasty, semi-dry even. Very dark brown color but not opaque. Nice one.
