This beer is magnificent. Lately all of the imperial stouts I have tried have been deep dark thick monsters, but this guy is dark as night yet is fruity, sweet and luscious. In the nose it is sweet and delicious… like taking a deep breath of chocolate coffee ice cream. In the mouth this guy is super smooth and velvety. When you swallow you get the sweetness with hints of flowers or fruits and then an awesome vanilla aftertaste. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite Imperial Stouts I have had. I was gaga over the Abyss, but I think I like the deep dark delicateness of Black Xantus. Well worth the 15 bucks a bottle!
