Waxed bottle pours with a deep dark brown body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma is huge with cinnamon and coffee and then a good load of dark roasted malts where there’s a pretty nice chocolate note hanging around at the end of the draw. The taste starts with an even yet bold mix of cinnamon and coffee that barrel into some dark roasted malts, sweetened burnt malts and a pleasing dose of chocolate. On the palate this comes across kind of thin but in no way is this thin on flavor. Cool brew.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is full of milk chocolate and lactose with a light roast and vanilla character. Hints of dark fruit. Pours black with a small, fairly thin, dark mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges where a small film lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is rather sweet and lactose forward with a lot of milk chocolate along with some bitter, dark chocolate. Medium light vanilla character. Light roast with moderate bitterness and faint dark fruit notes. Hints of alcohol. Mouthfeel is full bodied and creamy with medium low carbonation. Low to medium low astringency and low to medium low carbonation. Overall, an alright beer but I am not very impressed by it. I find the astringency and bitterness off putting and the vanilla is not very noticeable. The finish just isn’t creamy and sweet like I would expect from the beer.

Good beer and old football games with Mads. Jet black with a small but lasting tan head. Aroma of coffee beans and chocolate with faint hints of ash and soy sauce. Sweet roasted flavour with a pleasant coffee character. Better balanced than the regular Hunter, I think for a change, the coffee actually helps the beer

Good beer and old football games with Mads. Jet black with a small, but lasting tan head. Aroma of sweet chocolate and coffee, wwith a touch of charcoal and soy sauce. Very sweet roasted flavour with chocolate, coffee, licorice, ink and ash. A little too hard roasted and also too sweet for my taste

Poured from a 22 oz bottle; thanks Adam! Aroma has quite a bit of maltiness to it with hints of toasted bread, nuts and caramel. Aroma has a strong grapefruit character with hints of pine and a light melon and tropical fruit note. Hops do not necessarily work well with the malt. Pours a hazy, copper orange with a small thin white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a medium light malt character with some caramel, light toasted bread and faint nuttiness and medium light sweetness. Moderately strong bitterness with medium light hop character. Moderate citrus character with faint tropical fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice double pale ale (whatever that means). I found it a but too malty for the citra hops though and more bitter than I was expecting. As it warms the hop character becomes more noticeable and the bitterness mellows. The aroma is still a little off though.

Pitch black, tiny alcohol legions head though. Lots of coffee nose but it’s not overwhelming, maybe actually faded, sweeter finish than expected and a lot of milk chocolate. an interesting beer but missing some complexity

Pitch black oily, no head. Smells very sweet, loads of chocolate in the nose. some peanut? walnut? Very creamy loads of lactose from start to a long lingering sweet creamy finish (did I just write that?) anyway, not too roasty but has all of the qualities you’d expect in am imperial stout. there is a dark fruit like figs with walnut in here as well.
