Bottle - Dried cherry and some oak. Deep reddish brown with almost no head. Tart, a touch of balsamic, cherry and woody notes. Not bad, too bad its not a regular.

On tap. Pours a dark garnet red/brown. Aromas of sour dark fruit, balsamic vinegar, and wet wood. Flavors follow same with a touch of chocolate and more dark cherry. Nicely balanced and flavourful. Moderately sour. A little chewy for the style but very nice

Bottle, Legacy. Amber, with a bubbly head. Very floral, pears, mangoes and melons. Lean, fruity, with lots of hops, and a nice kiss of sweet pale malt. Quite bright. Less chewy than Fat Tug - go figure.

Bottle from Todd’s cellar, thanks mate! Cloudy brown, low tan lace. Candisugar and spice nose. Medium-lightbody, dried out a bit it seems, light sparkly mouthfeel. Berries, sugar, wood, a bit oxidized, nice lightfooted hop profile to round it off. Quite lightfooted and drinkable actually. Pleasant.

Bouteille 660ml, gracieuseté de lupulist, Thanks Mark! Couleur orange légèrement voilée, mousse blanc cassé nuageuse et persistante. Arôme de pamplemousse, houblon résineux, malt, floral léger, blanc de pamplemousse, touche de caramel, alcool. Goût de pamplemousse, houblon résineux, amertume intense toute en longueur, orange juteuse, sucré. Carbonatation faible, corps moyen. Manque cruellement de carbonatation pour l’amener au niveau supérieur.

Re-rate: Poured from 650mL bottle (2021 vintage - abv listed as 11.8%). Cap was rusted under the wax and initial smell upon opening was an odd sardine smell (some sort of chemical reaction between the cap and wax?). Once poured in the glass, it subsided. Medium roast malt, feint barrel and chocolate, more of a medium body. Okay, but not a stand out. First rate - April 25, 2015 (7/4/8/4/15=3.8): Poured from the tap. Black with tan head. Getting a bit of the bourbon, some mild chocolate and coffee, subtle leather and tobacco. Good, but not the best imperial stout.

Bottle bb 02/15/12, thanks for this blast from the past Todd! Dank pine and earthy hop aroma. Hazy orange amber, low golden head. Fullbodied sweet, initially, berries, low stickiness though with a broad hop front to cut through: Funny tobacco, lemon drops, pine, dry herbal, almost meaty and earthy finish. Leaves with sparkles on the tongue. The powder did not get wet in the last three years.
