2014 Bottle: Pitch black coloured body with a large, soapy four centimetre tall rich brown head. Aroma of roast, soy sauce, light nuts, cream, milk and a bit of alcohol - relatively pungent along with some smoke and peat. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich roasty flavour at first with some licorice, anise, soy sauce, mushrooms and a bit of grain noticeable, all with a bit of sweetness from honey and nuts. Aftertaste shows some oak and dry, complex flavours while also showing some pungency and nuts. Overall, a decent Imperial Stout at best, that didn’t seem to really be any smoother or muted over the years - this has some funky soy saucey flavours along with a big pungent finish that is still thin on the body and complexities. Not really worth trying unless you can get a cheap bottle or don’t mind to waste money. I sampled this twleve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 17-May-2015 for US$2,40 sampled at home in Washington on 05-May-2017. Bottled On: 11-November-2014 // Purchased On: 17-May-2015 // Sampled on: 05-May-2017.

Bottle courtesy of Asbjorn, cheers. My first MS rating. Pours clear deep golden with a lasting off-white head. Aroma has a big dose of citrus, hop and tropical fruit. Medium sweetness, moderate fruity bitterness, slight sour tartness. Toward medium bodied, slight sticky texture, average to soft carbonation. Aroma beats the taste on this one, which is slightly artificial, but still very drinkable.

Weird, like an English brown ale mixed with a neutered scotch ale. Ugly, slight aroma of caramel, and the taste is all caramel and deep toffee malts. Maybe the slightest pecan bitterness on the finish. Pretty bland.
