Solid imperial stout. Definitely taste the booze, but some nice complex flavors. Roasted Malts are pronounced, leading to nice coffee notes. Had at PP 11/30/12

Perfect stout appearance. Pitch black. Head the color of creamed coffee, hint of red. Lingers. Sexy. Dark chocolate aromas most prevalent. Dark fruit as well. Fig? Berry pie? Cherries? Some booze. Typical coffee and roasted aromas. Something else delicious I can't quite place. Maybe the hops? Complex flavors come together in a magical blend. Not in waves like Stone 15th. Chocolate, booze, some sweetness, cherry, hops maybe herbal, that aroma I can't identify. Amazing finish. Warming alcohol. Bitterness at the end. Finish lingers. I love this beer. Exactly what I want from a stout. Not overdone with barrel aging. Not too much alcohol. Fairly cheap and easy to find. Give me more.

Big and bold! Deep black chocolate coffee flavor but with a smooth vanilla bourbon like finish. All the grains really shine through yet still so complex

Another great one from Sierra! Everyone at our beer tasting party lives this complex, dark beer. At a hilariously strong 10% this beer is a perfect addition to any party!

A bold stout with a strong aftertaste of dark coffee. Slight bite to it, but overall a smooth and drinkable beer.

Good imperial stout at 10.2%, but the overall complexity was lacking. Expected better from Sierra.
