Received this in a trade (cpetrone84--thanks!) and there's no date on the bottle so I have no idea about the age of this.

A: Pours jet black with some ruby highlights when held up to light. The head is great--dark tan but very tight foam (almost like a 'nitro' head). About a 1/2 inch that settles quickly but returns on slight swirling.

S: Malty milk and dark chocolate with coffee. Some raisin/dark fruit also.

T: The chocolate and coffee are there and the dark fruit is a little more pronounced. On the backend there's a lingering bitterness and I'm picking up a little bit of the alcohol.

M: The mouthfeel is medium overall and you get a lingering mixture of bitterness and coffee that coats the mouth after swallowing. Carbonation is just right

D: For a 12.5% abv Double Stout this is very drinkable. Goes down very smoothly and tastes very good.

I'm very glad I was able to acquire a couple of these. I'm planning on sitting on the other one and see if the hop bitterness subsides. I'm guessing that this was from the most recent release because the hop presence (being only 65 ibu) was pretty prominent.

Pitch black inky body with a nice 1/2" of sandy colored head.

The smell has a lot of chocolate malt. I also pick up black licorice and a piney hop and a little bit of cola.

The flavor is very vivid and robust. Heavy with the chocolate with supporting flavors of anise, wood, and piney/earthy hops. There's also a nice taste of coffee.

Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Low carbonation lends to the full and creamy body.

This was a fantastic stout. It has incredible depth in the flavor. The 12.5% is noticeable but it's still smooth for such a big beer.
