4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 DrSilverworm (8884) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - APR 28, 2014
Taster on tap at the brewery. From a cask. Black color. Thin ring of tan head. Awesome big chewy texture to this. Bigger body. Lightly dry finish. Awesome color. Big roast, light smoke. Huge dark chocolate; wood. Awesome bigger scotch whiskey aroma, but its balanced well with the enormous stout flavor. Moderate to bigger bitter taste, light sweet, nice light alcohol warmth. Fantastic BA imperial stout. Super flavorful and potent, but with no bite, and a super-long, delicious aftertaste. Would love to revisit this one with a larger sample.

Cask pour at the source. Pours a dark brown to black with a cascading head of khaki foam. Very good retention. The aroma is smoky scotch boozyness. Sort of bitter and roasty. Taste has notes of char, smoke, anise, dark chocolate. Thick, viscous mouthfeel. Creamy. Sllight burn on the back of the tongue. Fairly low carbonation.

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 SpiritToAle (32) - - FEB 18, 2014
Wow. This ale is completely opaque, completely flat (from the cask), and completely outrageous. Huge. Malty. Roasted. A bit of spice and boozy as shit. The barkeep describes as assertive. That's an understatement.
