Limited Edition 2011 Imperial Stout 22oz bomber version with special new gothic look pours an amazing deep darkness with tight half inch mocha head. The aroma bruises the senses with toasted bread, sugary toffee and dark roasted maltiness leading into a bit of butter covered burnt maltiness. The taste is rich and bold with big toffee notes, dark roasted maltiness, burnt malts and chocolate. It then picks up lesser amounts of dark toasted bread and dark roasted coffee. This is rich and bold where toffee candy notes take on a buttery sense now and then. Nice stuff but a bit on the buttery side. I look forward to trying future batches of this.

Bomber pours copper with gold hues and off white head. The modest aroma offers up buttery notes as well as spicy hops and vague bitter hoppy notes. The taste is similar with bitter spicy hops and some grapefruit like citrus hops mixing with buttery notes and a bit of caramel malts. The bitter hops and sweet butteriness don’t go too well together.

Bomber thanks to Dave, listed as Limited Edition 2011 Imperial Stout. Pours a very nice jet black color with a thick brown head. Unfortunately, it’s downhill from there: a huge buttery aroma- literally like popcorn. A similar diacetal flavor with smaller chalky and roast, some coffee, sourness. Very hard to drink too much of. I have a 2nd bottle, maybe it will be better.

Dean Swift - RBESG Tasting. Cloudy amber beer, no head. Slightly dry palate. Sugar sweet with some toffee caramel. Some finky fruit underneath. Overall reminds me of a caramel pudding. Mild warmth in the finish, otherwise abv well hidden. A dessert beer if ever there was one and actually it’s pretty good! Extra points for uniqueness!

Poured up on tap at Taste of Tops with clear gold body and tiny white head. The mild aroma offers up a sense of citrus fruit, grainy malts, some roasted malts and a faint sweet sense like malts and caramel malts. The taste starts with a bit of spicy hops and then picks up grainy malts and a thin layer of nuttiness and roasted malts. I also get a bit of citrus fruit and caramel as well as a pleasing grainy maltiness heading into the finish.
