Poured a deep, dark, nutty brown with a clumpy, lacing white head. Smells of soap, pine and flowers. Very sweet flavor, caramel and sweet fruits. Very bitter and citrus finish but also very smooth. Different kind of IIPA but very enjoyable.

Bottle; Nose of dark fruit like dark chocolate covered cherries mixed with raisins; Opaque black with cherry accents and a medium tan head; Flavor of coffee, asparagus, chocolate and some hop bitterness. The finish is smoky like I been hanging around a cigar smoker. Odeed didn’t like it that much either.

Bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry: Poured a pitch-black color ale with a medium dark brown foamy head with good retention. Aroma of bitter hops and roasted malt is quite dominating and some faint chocolate notes may be hiding being this. Taste is dominating by bitter citrus hops and leaves little place to the roasted chocolate malt. Body is slightly above average with some good carbonation and no alcohol was discernable.

Bottle (Courtesy of Hogtownharry): Poured a clear light brown color ale with a small foamy head with low retention. Aroma of citrus hops is dominating. The taste is also dominated by the citrus hops but is lacking in malt balance. Body is about average with no alcohol noticeable. This beer while lacking in malt balance IMO is still very enjoyable.

Sweet and dry and thoroughly enjoyable. Pitch black pour with frothy dark tan head that quickly retreats. Delightful aroma of chocolate, molasses, plum, roasted and burnt malts. The flavors hint at chocolate, licorice and coffee with caramel and sweet dried fruit in the backbone. Full bodied with average carbonation. Bitter and very dry finish. Rich texture though somewhat gritty. A solid imperial stout all around.

A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with very strong notes of prunes, while the flavor is sweet malty with the strongest component being chocolate, but also with notes of coffee.
