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 it’s 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.

I hope this is the right one I tried yesterday.pours dark brown to almost black...no head when I seen it...the aroma is strong deep dark roasted malts. oak smoke woody scotch and rye. the flavor is not the for weak at heart. this fulled bodied full flavored stout brings it all the way from start to finish. the palate is full of oak, smoke, scotch, roasted malts and then some. very powerful.

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. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft. Oak, whisky, and chocolate malt aroma. Black with moderate tan head. Sweet dark chocolate malt and Highland/Speyside whisky flavor. Smooth as silk. Delicious.
