Wow, so psyched to have had a chance to try this.

Poured from a 11.5 oz bottle into a pint glass.

Appearance was as of any Imperial worth its merit, pitch black with a frothy tan head with great lacing and retention. No light gets through this whatsoever.

Smell was of roasty bakers chocolate and espresso. Think Old Rasputin with a double espresso shot poured into it.

Taste was consistent with the smell, amazing blend of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla bean. Every sip, it gets better.

Mouthfeel was great, a tad on the high end carbonation wise but still drinks incredibly smooth.

I would give the drinkability a 5 but the 9.5 abv limits that for sure, as does the intensity of the flavor. This is definitely one to sip and enjoy after dinner or as a night cap, not at all something you'd want to quaff to get drunk off of.

Overall an amazing beer and i'm happy I got a chance to try it given that I found it by accident at the local shop. Seek out and enjoy!

Big thanks to tom10101 for this bottle...

A: Pours a deep dark black with one full finger of dark khaki colored head. The foam fades fairly rapidly, leaving a thin clingy layer of bubbles across the top of the beer. Excellent lacing as it drinks.

S: The nose is roasted malt, toasted chestnuts, milk chocolate, coffee, and a touch of sweet vanilla. Smells excellent.

T: This beer starts out sweet and creamy with milk chocolate, vanilla, and marshmallow. The coffee notes of this beer dominate in the middle, but the beer remains creamy. As it moves to the back end, I get a lot of roast and toast. It tightens up with big dark chocolate bitters, and burnt toast. It's wonderful.

M: Full bodied beer. It's sweet and creamy to start, silky smooth in the middle, and gets almost bitterly dry in the finish.

O: Excellent beer. One of my favorites. I can't believe it took me this long to finally review it. I need more of this as soon as possible.
