Opaque black beer, dark brown edges. Semi dry softish palate. Starts with spicy licorice, then a little creamy malt. A light light touch of vanilla and very subtle red fruits - well buried. Complex beer embedded in a soft palate. Finishes semi dry and with fruity aniseed alcohol. Very drinkable and a little different.

Bottle @ home. Clear, dark burnt orange appearance with a tan head. Rich fresh, piney, somewhat grapefruit hoppy, somewhat resiny, toasty caramel malty aroma. A touch fruity, big toasty caramel malty, piney, earthy hoppy flavor. The big hoppiness in the nose didn’t seem to come through as much in the flavor. Tasty nonetheless.

Bottle. Pours almost black with nearly no head. Aroma is dominated by chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor is of chocolate, caramel, roasted malts, and almost a minty note. Very crisp, almost winelike in mouthfeel.

Bottle at Chriso’s Easter tasting 2012. It pours very deep ruby, with a thick tan head. The nose is chocolate, caramel, vanilla ice-cream and toasted coconut. The taste is roasted malt, charcoal, coffee, toffee, chocolate, dark fruit, vanilla and toast, with a dry-roasted finish. Full body and moderate carbonation. Alcohol is fairly well hidden. Not particularly complex. An enjoyable Imperial Stout nonetheless.

Sampled at EBF on Saturday Afternoon. Poured a solid black color with a moderate tan head. Smells of coffee mostly, but I think there’s a stout under there as well. Taste is again heavy on the coffee but complimented by the usual suspects of caramel and chocolate. Thick body with a light carbonation level and a roasty almost chalky mouthfeel. Nice coffee with a side of stout.
