750 ml bottle courtesy of Tarheels86 - thank you sir! Murky orange color, thick white head that lasts, good lacing. Aroma of fresh hops and citrus. Massive body, nice hop profile, not over-the-top, lemony toward the middle, gentle bitter finish. A winner.

Growler thanks to womencantsail (BA). Poured a orangish pink with an off-white head that had a strong pink hue and lasted through out the beer. Aroma had notes of rose, chocolate, vegetables and a hint of caramel. Flavor had a bit of an overbearing alcohol note that covered up the flavors from the aroma.

An intolerable SWEET and ALCOHOL mess. The beer is uber thick and viscous, combined with the sweetness of 10 Southern Tier Imperial Stouts. And there is no relief from the swICeetness in the form of carbonation or hops. Just so sweet, first time I have had a non-adjunct sweetness that was too hard to put down. Had this in lineup with Dark Lord, Darkness, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Victory @ Sea, and Foot Sex and this was sweeter and hotter than any of those. I am shocked how the Impy Stouts keep heading in the wrong direction. 10 guys could not put down a bottle, I did not even finish my sample.

Bottle, 6.5%. Mild brett aroma. Cloudy yellow colour. Big stable white head. The flavour starts off with a good bitterness. Then comes a nice brett note, and then more bitterness. Nice and well-balanced.

Growler. Pours with a huge, off-white head and a pretty, hazy deep blood red body. Aroma is dry with oak, brown sugar, beets, bourbon and floral notes. Taste is tannic, oak, brown sugar, alcohol, dry and nutty. Light bubbles with a tannic and dry mouthfeel.

Bottled, thanks tytoanderso! Near black, no head. Aroma of chocolate liqueur. Sweet and huge bodied with soft mouthfeel and almost no carbonation. Port-like with bourbon, milk chocolate and coffee. The sticky sweetenss works well, it feels edgeless and really warming. Very talented beer - I didn’t think it was possible to make a 19.5% beer this good!

Poured from the bottle, conditioned. I was surprised by the amount of yeast sediment at the bottom that filtered in when I poured, not a bad thing just threw me off guard. Aroma is rather floral, taste is very smooth with a bitter finish. I’m tasting grapefruit and banana, with a definite hop presence. Not bad at all!
