Dark amber to brown color; creamy head. Light caramel aroma. Caramel flavor, with a strange touch of raspberries; some residual sweetness; correct bitterness.
Pleasant.

Dark, almost opaque brown color, beige-brownish head, lace. Aroma is mainly pine needles. Medium-bodied. Flavor has suprisingly first butterscotch, buttery notes! Then piney, hoppy flavors. Dark Czech pils? :) Aftertaste is piney hoppy with sweetier notes.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours murky amber / brown with a beige head. Aroma of caramel, sweet dark malts and candied sugar. Flavour is quiet sweet, with whiskey to counteract, candied sugar, caramel and booze (even though it's only 6.4%). Thin palate and the flavours sort of dissolve on the finish. Decent scotch.

Bottled 650ml (PBF, alc. 9.6%)
Nut brown color, small off-white head. Ryeish, caramelly, malty aroma. Full-bodied. Caramel, rye, sherry, some tickling alcohol. Liquerish palate. Probably few years old bottle. Quite nice, a bit Bigfoot-like big American barley wine.

Draught @ The Alibi Room, Vancouver, BC

Pours pitch black with a nice smooth beige head. Aroma has notes of coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. Taste is smooth with notes of oatmeal, roasted malts and coffee. Long lasting finish of malts and chocolate. Okay imperial stout, but nothing special.

On tap at Boundary Bay Brewpub, pours hazy golden orange. Very fruity on the nose, with peach and mango, and of course a barrage of hops. Flavour of intense, slightly bitter hops, and strong peach, mango and grapefruit. Really well-balanced - extremely delicious.

Sampled on tap at Boundary Bay Brewpub, pours black with a tan head. Aroma of espresso, roasted malt and burnt caramel. Very burnt flavour, in a good way, of burnt roasted malt, burnt espresso and a slight peaty character - noticeable hoppy finish along with these burnt notes, which balances very nicely. Wonderful.
