saw this 2008 bottle on the shelf. haven't had much patience or space for aging, but thought id try something already a couple years along.
wow. this is an all around big beer. poured into my snifter. black as satans heart. not even a hint at opaqueness. dark tan head. dissipates to nothing but a ring around the edge of my glass. rich roasted flavors. maybe some chocolate. roasty flavors are even more present than the smell and now i can pick up those chocolate notes. some fruity tones that are quickly swallowed up by a strong taste of alcohol that stays all the way down your throat. reminds me of a thick port or wine with some of the flavors. feels nice in the mouth, very creamy. the very present alcohol taste leaves a warm feeling. drinkable, yes. quickly, no. but i will enjoy this as i polish off the bottle. maybe ill get another one and try to let it sit for another year or so and see if that has an impact.

Ok, I am stoked to try this beer. The head was one finger super dark brown with dismal retention. The color of the beer is black with no clarity and no carbonation bubbles visible.
A dark roasted malt, chocolate, toffee, caramel, alcohol, earthy, floral, raisins, and coffee.
A dark roasted coffee, chocolate, raisins, toffee, caramel, biscuit, bread, earthy, floral, and some figs
The mouthfeel is creamy, slightly carbonated, chewy, and the finish last.
This beer is awesome. The beer flavor meld together flawlessly, a very complex rich beer. A lot going on but yet elegantly simple. Very very good beer, I am so glad that I got to drink this beer.

A very long story to the acquisition of a case of this fine brew... I am on two bottles left (now 6 years+ in age) - I've been opening one every once in a while and just relished in the development of it's complexity and richness over these years. An incredible brew, and likely my favorite of the anniversary brews (as an Arizonan, I am proud to say that I have tasted each - Starting with the first - Decadence...). Anyway - a top-class Imperial Stout. HOWEVER... a little hint... If you pick up a bottle of Weyerbacher's Tiny (http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/392/56274/)... if you have a bottle... check the number of "stars" in the upper right of the label... Check the description under the title "TINY"... count the number of words in that description... Hmmm... I was told by a reliable source at Weyerbacher that this number (13 for those of you who don't have access) is no small coincidence...
