Sampled at the recent Tampa BA gathering - thanks to whoever brought it.

Pours deep and dark with garnet highlights when held to light. Aroma displays coffee and roast along with some fruit (cherry). Flavor displays that smooth richness that comes from the well done use of oatmeal. Also has nice roast and black cherry notes. Alcohol flavor and strength are suprisingly low for an imperial stout.

Overall, a pleasant RIS and one that highlights very nicely the use of oatmeal. Recommended.

On tap at Kickbacks in Jax. Poured into a snifter. Almost tudor brown head, moderate retention on a black body, clear, oily lacing. Aroma includes notes of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, slight alcohol and slight caramel, hint of vanilla cream. Taste follows the aromas closely with a nice thick mouthfeel. Warming on tasting but the alcohol is hidden quite well. No off flavors and quite a delicious monster.
