A - Served a dark black color with a hint of brown around the edges and a finger of frothy chocolate colored head atop. The head fades down fairly slowly leaving behind some good lacing.

S - The aroma is a nice mix of roasted chocolate malts with a bit of lactose sweetness and some earthy hops. There is a bit of oak in the background.

T - Starts off with roasted milk chocolate malts with a bit of oak. Through the middle some earthy hop flavor comes through with a bit of burnt bitter chocolate. The finish is a mix of sweet roasted chocolate, oak, a touch of booze, and some earthy hops that linger together.

M - Medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation. The beer feels smooth with a nice warming, slightly sweet and bitter finish.

D - Very drinkable. A bit lighter and more smooth than many Imperial Stouts, but it is still big enough and rich in flavor to fit in the style.
