Capped 750 from ericandersnavy. Pours very black with a 3 finger creamy dark tan head. Getting a lot of chocolate in the aroma. Think that stiff head may be an obstacle to fine detail. Near full body. Lots of smooth dark malt and chocolate. Heat ramps up a bit. Moves on into something more mocha than anything else. Starbucks should get a recipe that will match this. It’s simply delicious. Finishing on the dry bitter side.

Capped 750 from ericandersnavy. Pours hazy dark ruddy copper. 3 finger creamy/bubbly off-white head. Massive citrus hop aroma along with a rough rye malt. Near full bodied with lots fluffy carbonation. There’s a lot of grapefruit rind over a sweet rye malt. Pretty well balanced, finishing a tad towards the bitter side. It’s incredibly fresh and refreshing.

750 ml bottle - Michael Jackson's Rare Beer Club (February 2011), 3/9/11
Aroma: The aroma is heavy on roast and coffee with some smoke and wood as well
Appearance: It pours a thick black (motor oil) color with a small brown head
Flavor: Somewhat sweet up-front progressing quickly to dry roasty/burnt malts, coffee, and wood
Palate: Full bodied, with a soft carbonation, a smooth mouthfeel, and a surprisingly high drinkability
Overall Impression: It is always pretty exciting to get to try a beer from a brewery this new. This beer was actually really good for a start-up brewery, and one from Texas no less! Well-done Jester King! If these guys bottle more beers I'd certainly be happy to try them, but in the meantime this one was rather tasty.

Multiple pints at the Flying Saucer in Addison. Pours with a deep black body and a deep brown head. Aromas of rich chocolate, vanilla, dark fruits, alcohol, raisins, and plums. Flavors are big, and rich with bitter baking chocolate, dark fruits and vanilla. Smooth and rich. Creamy consistency with medium bubbles and a touch of alcohol. Quite a tasty beer!

On tap at Petrol Station. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is a sweet roasted malt and smoke. Thin mouthfeel with a bitter malt and light hop with a lingering bitter finish. Alcohol present but not overpowering, a very good Imperial stout from Jester King.
