Jet black with one inch of dark chestnut foam that is very dense. The head slowly settles, leaving an unbroken curtain of lace on a Pretentious Glass Company snifter known as "The Sequel".

Dark roasted malt is simple and pleasant. Some chocolate comes out along with faint cinnamon.

The flavor is clean and all malt with mild cinnamon. There is not much to say here, other than it is very tasty with a faint, brief finish. Both the bitterness and sweetness are mild.

The texture is smooth and lush, while the body is full and chewy. Alcohol is mild for 11.3 percent, though certainly noticeable. Carbonation is soft.

This makes for a good afternoon Imperial Stout. A nice punctuation after a long, rough week.

Look: It pours very dark brown with a brown head. It has low head retention.

Smell: It has strong dark rich coffee aromas with dark chocolate. There are lighter notes of maple and vanilla.

Taste: It has strong coffee, roast, and dark chocolate flavors. There are maple and vanilla elements in the background with cherry. In addition there are hints of dark fruits.

Feel: It has a full body with a bitter-sweet after taste.

Overall, the depth of flavors in this beer are quite profound and work very well together.
