Dark brown. Thin head. Chocolatey, molassesy aroma. Soft body, very strong liquorice and deep fruity notes. Alcohol is meaty, burly, and comes across the palate well beyond the 10% abv. Pretty rough, unrefined example of the style, unbalanced and whose main attributes are not the most positive an imperial stout can have. Worth trying, but not my thing (and for context, Megadestroyer is one of my go-to impies, so the liquorice dominance is not at all the problem here).

Draft pour pint at Tipsy Cow, Woodinville. I know I've had this in the years past, but figured I never rated it. All I remember from the first couple experiences was trying to figure out why and how this was so different from your usual pale. It's gotta be the pils malt. It really takes center stage in this one, at least as far as my taste goes. A clean, clear, shiny golden pour. Grassy hop aroma with a fresh feel, paired with a steady malt. Somewhat dry in flavor, cool constant, and remains a very flavorful pilsner malt. Moderate grassy hop bitterness. Overall an incredibly interesting pale. Certainly can't think of another like it. I enjoy this brew more and more each time I try it.

500 ml bottle. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium tan head. A big boozy malty bourbon nose. Hot, caramel, toast, sweet fruit, very sweet malty base, big vanilla, hot bourbon. Solid. Huge beer.

500ml bottle pours out copper brown color topped with a small head. Nose is bourbon barrel vanilla notes sweet caramel malts and some toffee. Tatse is more of the nice sweet malts pit fruit bourbon barrel notes vanilla and some spice.

On tap at Greene's, pours a hazy darkish orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, with some resins, and light pine. Flavour reveals a very nice earthy hop character, with light spiciness, and biscuity malt. Lightly spicy, lightly herbal, and nicely resinous. Excellent.

On Tap at PreFunk Boise. Hazy deep yellow golden. Firn dense off white head. Nice light pale malt aromas . Belgian yeast notes in the flavors as well. Soft and smooth and well blended moderate Belgian fruity yeast flavors. THe Brett is subtle and works well.

Slightly thick IPA, smooth and hoppy.
