Review according to BJCP2008 guidelines (style 13F). AROMA: very complex cocoa, coffee and bourbon barrel aromas. medium alcohol aroma. no hop aromas. APPEARANCE: opaque jet black with a very tanned head. medium head retention. TASTE: complex flavour with cocoa very present, slight dried grapes flavour, coffee and bourbon. medium hop flavour that lingers towards the end accompanied with roastiness, bitterness and slight warming character. balanced malt flavour with medium-high bitterness. PALATE: very-full body with a velvety texture. gentle warmth from alcohol. medium carbonation. OVERALL: a very complex, special, imperial stout with a plethora of flavours, maybe a bit sweet from the added cocoa but nonetheless highly recommended.

Pretty good showing for style. Pours orangish brown with good head and lacing. Good balance, nice crisp malt. Good mix overall of elements. Tap at RFD in Chinatown.

[April 17, 2014] Sample at Ale Alpharetta. Pours black, with a filmy tan head. The aroma is dark chocolate, vanilla, caramel, coriander, and oak. Sweet, with a bitterness that grows the more you drink. Heavy body, sticky, and smooth. This is a good, but not great, barrel aged stout. [December 22, 2021] 22 oz. bottle, best by 2017. Rich dark chocolate, vanilla, almonds, walnuts, and sherry. Smooth, balanced, and delicious. Worth the wait!

Very nice. Has some awesome bitter toasty malt with a light dose of orangy hops. Light vanilla and just enough oak to pique aroma. Pours black with great mocha head and lacing. Very bitter finish. Thick and creamy consistency. Tap for free at whole foods. Word.

From a can, no visible co2. Sweeter smell. Brownish orange. Scummy head. First taste hides alky well. Not as cloying as the aroma would indicate. Grows a little malty bitter during the session. Very fine light co2 on the palate but for the most part, kindah flat. Yes, malty without hardly any hops. Has a medium medicinal finish at the end of the can. Not sure if I’d drink another.
