very dark red/ruby pour. The aroma is quite nice. Loads of cocoa powder! Its like smelling cake mix. WOw, the flavoris really quite nice. loads of chocolate, cocoa powder, touches of coffee in the finish with a nice lingering bitteress. Very sweet overall, and not really what i would consider a dry stout. Kinda thin for a stout also, I think this would be at home in the porter category.

330ml bottle from dsnowden, thank you!
pour opaque black, small tan head, good lacing. Aroma is ALL roasty malt, with some hints of chocolate and coffee. This beer is super smooth. Flavour is big roasted malt, some hops add a great bitterness. Wow, wicked stout!

nice amber color, nose is LOTS of malt, and cognac. flavour is very malty. Very interesting barley wine, i’m used to more of a hop profile, hops seem to be lost in here. Very nice warmness from the alcoho, it’s present but not too much, very nice!

Bottle at home. Aroma of biscuity malt, caramel, piney resinous notes, fruits, earthy notes, hint of herbs, soft hops. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. Pretty decent malty earthy APA, but nothing spectacular.

Bottle at home. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, espresso, liquorice, fruits, plum, chocolate, hops. Flavour is moderate sweet with a medium bitter finish. Body is medium to full. Quite a fruity hoppy profile for an Imperial Stout. If this were a bit fuller this would be an absolute beast. As it stands, it has very high drinkability and smoothness. Damn tasty.
