Style: Imperial Stout
Tasting notes: (1011) A 4.5 yr old bottle from Spring 2006. Chocolate and big and nice. Upgraded to 5 glasses. (1004) A 4-yr old bottle. Big,massive,and balanced. I don't know why I don't rate it 5 glasses. (0910) A 3.5-yr. old bottle. Big and complex and balanced. Age seems to smooth the beer. (0812) Massive and malty w/ lots of chocolate and coffee flavors, followed by a bitter finish. It is good and complex and flavorful but somehow does not WOW me as much as many drinkers. Downgraded from 5 glasses. Complex beer that others like more than I. (0712) A spring 2006 bottle. Massive malt followed by coffee and more coffee. Went gr8 w/ chocolate lava cake. May rate 6 glasses. (0701) Massive fudgy, milk chocolate malt. I think that 8 months aging has helped. Next bottle in 0710 or so. (0605) Milk chocolate with a touch of coffee at first. Ends with bitter chocolate. Bitter and alcohol become more noticable as the beer warms. Best just below room temp. I'm aging 6 bottles.
