Black. Thin head. Cask. Gorgeous molasses and dark fruit aroma. Full body, dark sugars layering over smoky charred fruits. Splash of alcohol in the finish. You never see this approach to imperial stout anymore in the pastry era, but I am all about this. Rich, luscious, just a damn fine imperial stout.

On cask at The Beer Junction, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy notes and bready malt. Flavour is dry and bready, with stale bread and not much else. Stale and lacking anything remotely interesting. Lame.

On cask at Special Brews. Fun, unique brew from two locals I don't get to try nearly enough. Golden pour, clean, tons of sticky lacing. Cream body, bold spicy malts. Some earthy, grassy like hops that are light and low bitter. Surprisingly light and smooth flavor for a strong ale. A few easy drinking pints of this will lead to a good time for sure. Tasty, unique ale here. Very nice.

500 mL bottle poured from Special Brews. Tasty brew here, very flavorful light brew perfect for having more than one. A dark copper orange appearance, loose bubble head. Smooth, flavorful bready malts, with a gentle, earthy linger that goes on forever. Always glad to have these guys in town doing this style so well. Very nice.

Conditioned bottle. Dark orange body with very thin fast dissipating head. Malty aroma with some orange. Very full taste with a hop skin. Long satisfying finish
