Bottle at the Vienna tasting February 2016. Many thanks! Almost black colour. Lots and lots of dark chocolatey coffeeish roasted flavours. Very rich and full bodied. Very tasty, very good. Excellent.

Bottle from systembolaget. Shared in Vienna. Pitch black with off white head. Chocolately aroma with light vanilla. Lightly roasted. Chocolate and light boozy. Light boozy, chocolately flavor with syrup, coffee, roast, milk chocolate and molasses. Strong flavors and nicely balanced.
Flaska bishops Örebro. Mörkbrun nästan svart kulör. Doft av knäck, choklad, vanilj och fat. I smak känns torkad frukt, rostad malt, mjölkchoklad, fat och vanilj. Skön kolsyrehalt och fin rund avslutning
Flaska från Bishop Örebro. Frisk och mustig på samma gång. Frisk smak av kakao, portvin, mjölkchoklad. Smutsig svart. Doft av portvin.
This beer is complex and yet so easy to drink. It has so many notes it could write an opera. Share this with a good friend and you won't regret it.
Had at Gordon Ramsay pub in Vegas. 22 oz bottle. Strong hands of black licorice balanced with roasted mall.
Very smooth and very strong. Also very nice. I think I could drink this until I passed out. Shame it comes in 6oz pours.
Bottle (750 ml). Pours opaque black with thick, dark tan head and substantial lacing. (No light gets through the beer.) Oak, alcohol, and licorice nose. Sweet roasted malt upfront followed by licorice and some chocolate with a hint of coffee. Long finish.
Black pour from draft at whole foods. Sweet and spicy. A little cocoa burn. Nice beer. Strong.

From old notes.
Beautiful pour. Long lucious glossy black forming a complex ultra easy beige head. Beautiful intregration of dark chocolate, light liquorice and roast into a stylish whole without losing each individual element.
Small brown head over deep-brown beer. Alcohol, hint at ureum, black chocolate, mocha, dark but sweet grains; generally smelling sweet. Sweet going over to dry-ish bitterness via quite some liquorice. Again chocolate, both black and sweet one. Full-bodied feel, alcoholwarmth, very slick, viscous, oozy, chewy; carbonation gone. Sweet, but good Porter. Thanks to the bringers of gifts ans purveyors of rare items!
Blackity black. Tan foamy head, spotty lace. Leather rich aroma, dark chocolate, tobacco, dark roast rich. Taste is rich malt dark , roast chocolate, ashy smoke, raison molasses, maple maybe, nice very nice, aged a few years I believe. Rich sweet syrupy, anise.
Thanks to ElManana+1! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ “Tim’s orgasmic Trillium tasting”. Good sized sample. Black, small head. Nose is light weird mushroom note, touch umami, roasted herbs & basic milk chocolate sweetness. Taste is interesting roasted note upfront, umami, sugar, melted cheap chocolate, milk chocolate which starts to dominate more in the palate as you drink more of it, faint herbal note. Creamy chocolate body. Bit quirky but as you get more accustomed to it, it just becomes more like drink, sweet, cheap & nice chocolate. Rather liked it. Nice beer.
Bottle at tderoeck's place. Creamy, thIck, chocolate, vanilla, very nice. Lovely!
Huge imperial Stout, heavy smoked chocolate caramel, starting sweet with slightly heavier carbonation, turning to slightly roasty coffee with little bitterness. 13.2% ABV? Not very detectable. Lovely Stour, high on my list.
750ml from Elise shared at a tasting. Deep viscous licorice Imperial Stout. Heavy, but kind of straightforward. Gets more monstrous as you sip at it. Heavy molasses tones. intense.
Tap at draft and vessel in Milwaukee. Black with thick tan head. Powerful nose. Sweet malt coffee taste with licorice. Heavy alcohol and nice sweetness. Big beer and a good one.
Big chocolate and a touch of vanilla. Big roast. Average consistency. Average carbonation. Bitter finish. Pours black with mocha head and lacing. Pretty good stuff. Tap at Snallygaster.
Draft pour at Snallygaster. Dark brownish black with light tan head. Aromas of smoke, chocolate. Tastes of licorice, chocolate, roast. Medium-full body with a dry finish.
Pours jet black, with a long lasting darkish tan head. Aroma of alcohol, wood, and malt. Taste is rich and smooth, notes of oak and chocolate. Slightly sweet. A very nice brew, thumbs up.
Tap tonight at Cask and Vine for the distributor showdown.
Blacker than a quad should be. Rich fruit some roasty malt and subtle oaky bourbon notes. Very stout like but very tasty.
Lumipyryyn ja pakkaseen. Marraskuu ja kaljakori. Tumma kun piru. Kannatti raahata. From Jackson.
Pours black with chocolate head. Aroma and flavor are of chocolate, caramel, and nuts. Heavy on alcohol, but quite drinkable. Pairs well with berries or cherries.
Wow what an amazing beer! Flavor is easy to judge and is a smoky chocolate with an amazingly smooth aftertaste.
-pours black with a brown head that laces. Aroma is rich dark malt-chocolate/cocoa, wood, raisin/plum. Taste is rich dark malt-chocolate/cocoa/molasses, wood/earthy hops, slight alcohol.

Aromas and flavors of caramel, peanut butter, pecan, chocolate, vanilla, juicy dark fruit, cherry with accents of citrus and marshmallow, flowing vinous notes, undertones of treacle and molasses with a mild spirit character warming on a silky smooth medium body with a clean creamy texture, flavorful, smoothly fading residuals of the previously mentioned components
750 ml cork and cage bottled on 12/05/14 served at 50° into Riedel Swirl Red Wine
Bottle share thanks to Homer. Black pour with tan head. Aroma is super rich, chocolate, molasses, mild coffee. Taste is chocolate, rich, decadent, think mouthfeel. Really tasty.
Bottle to taster. A super rich and decadent chocolate and molasses and toffee aroma with a light hop grassiness. Pitch black in color, minimal head. Taste is a dark chocolate bitterness followed by cocoa powder and mousse. Really damn good. Minimal warming.
