8 week old bottle > stemless glass A: Pours a short yellow tan head atop a hazy mahogany body. Sort retention with a little lace. S: Bitter chocolate with a little caramel. T: Sweet and roasty at once. Then bitter chocolate with faint prune and roast lingering. M: Medium body with low soft carbonation. Ashy finish. O: Pretty good if a bit strong, with nice flavor complexity. Well worth buying if you like the style.

Month old bottle into an IPA. A: Deep orange body with a short, tight tan head. Good retention and great lacing. No visible carbonation. S: Bright zesty orange and faint caramel aroma. T: Bitter orange pith, zest and strong enough woody malt sweetness to compete with the hops. Slight alcohol. M: Medium weight with crisp subtle bubble scrub and lingering coating resin. O: A tad strong and sweet for me personally but admittedly a good IPA nonetheless.

Rather tame for a decadent Imperial Stout, muted both on the stout and the adjunct sides. Nose offers strong chocolate with a tiny hit of booze, and the pour is sufficiently black and boisterous. Yet the flavor never really develops much beyond basic stout notes; predominately chocolate, with nary a java bean in sight, growing a mild dark cherry-fig sweetness as it warms. Finishes semisweet, with a rich cocoa nib dryness, but the roasted boozy indulgence you want from an Imperial Stout never comes through. Decent, but much better options are out there.
