Tap at Belmont Station. Colour is jet black with a medium thick tan head. Nose is dark chocolate, burnt toffee, black strap molasses and stewed prunes. Palate is thick, coating, cloying to start but then a bit of dryness tempers that sweetness. There's gobs of viscous, baked Brooks prunes, dates and black currant, with undertones of vanillin. Dark caramel and tannins hit the mid palate as does a lot of volatising ethanol. The finish is long, heady, and brims with over baked sailor jack and chess pie.

From Good Times Oakland, 2025 Vintage.
It pours black with a finger of tan foam, very good retention, lacing is excellent.
The smell is chocolate, roasted malt, dark fruits, Bourbon, brown sugar, vanilla, so complex but everything seems to work well together.
The taste is chocolate, brown sugar, roasty as heck, vanilla, Bourbon and dark fruits that add a bit of a vinous character but not too much. On the sweet side overall, the alcohol is definitely there but doesn't impede my enjoyment of this Imperial Stout.
Full bodied with good level of carbonation, I would drink this again.
