UPDATED: MAY 24, 2023 Taster during MBCC 2023 Friday morning session shared with Ryan, Matt, Phill, Erik, and Brian. Roasty, coffee, moderately sweet. Good one.

UPDATED: AUG 7, 2022 Bottle from Knightly Spirits (Williamsburg) in Orlando, FL. Aroma is coffee, dark roasted grains, earthy vanilla, cocoa. Taste is a bit diminished but overall a classic mix of dark roast coffee, roasted grains, cocoa and vanilla. Well balanced but not especially memorable.

UPDATED: FEB 17, 2019 Nez: Malt grillé, chocolat, fruits secs Bouche: Malt grillé, chocolat noir, noisette Un Impé Stout peu complexe avec des notes de malts grillés et de chocolat avec, dans le final, une pointe de noisette.

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2018 Bottle shared @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma color cappuccino, media, non molto persistente. Al naso note di cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, una leggerissima ossidazione. In bocca è abbastanza ben equilibrata, con attacco dolce e finale amaro medio. Corpo importante ma inferiore alle attese, carbonazione leggera. Non male, ma mi aspettavo di più.

Pours black with full, tan head. Aroma is strong molasses, light coffee. Taste is chocolate and brown sugar, moving to coffee and bitter roast. Finish is heavy roast. A decent imperial stout.

Alluring mocha malt aroma in a jet black pour. Big hop malt body is nicely balanced with hints of coffee and semi-sweet chocolate. Moreish finish leaves one wanting another.
