22 oz bottle poured and shared at a tasting. Much thanks to Tcon for sharing. Rating from notes. Pours black with a brown fizz head. Heavy roasted malt aroma with a wine fruit flavor. Vanilla flavor background, which provides the sweetness. Sweet imperial for sure. Very tasty.

On tap at Golden Valley, pours a dark brown / black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out notes of oats, dry bitter cocoa and bready malt. Flavour is dry and bitter, with notes of oats and dry bitter cocoa. Thin-to-medium palate with not a whole lot of depth, but it's balanced decently.

On tap at Golden Valley, pours a hazy dark orange amber with a small white head. Aroma is quite fruity, with red fruits and toasted bready caramel malt - low hops. Flavour isn't authentic at all, with toasted bready malt and red berries. Not sure what they were going for here, but it's not very decisive. Not a mess, but just a miss.
