Feb 1, 2010 Oh baby another cellar dweller that I had yet to rate. Amazing it’s sat so long just waiting. True to it’s description, I remember well the 03 blackout with family in NYC that day, funny enough I was the pivot man between the sis-in-law and brother-in-law. Aroma of chocolate and vanilla. Poured a deep dark black still a nice little head to it, it shelved well. Flavor of dark malts and chocolate. Palate was medium bodied but richly so. Overall clear to see that if I drink a few more of these there’d be a well deserved blackout. Awesome Great Lakes.

Jan 5, 2010 Bottle from a trade with Boutip. Pours black with small tan head. Aromas of roasted malts, chocolate with a little bit of coffee. Nice roasty flavor with milk chocolate and some hops poking through. It has a moderate amount of sweetness. Full body with soft carbonation and a creamy, sticky mouthfeel. Very nice. Thanks Phil.

Jan 5, 2010 Poured thick black with a little tan ring of head, aroma is full of chocolate and coffee tones. Taste is right with sweet chocolate and toffee, that leads into a nice coffee and smoky aftertaste that does finish sweet. A great impy stout!

Jan 3, 2010 Bottle. Pours black with a thin brown head. Aroma is full roasted malt, coffee, light chocolate and just a slight hint of licorice. Flavor begins with light sweet chocolate and a bit of sweet grain, but coffee and roasted malts lead to a more powerful finish.

Dec 30, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a beautiful deep black with a thick creamy light tan head. Aroma is super duper chocolate. Very much a meshing off sweet chocolate candy and some dark chocolate and even a little bit of bitter cocoa. Just a light hint of coffee and a lot of roasty toasty. Flavor starts with a chocolate character that is lightly bitter but rich. Gains just a little hoppiness in the finish which is rounded by toffee, of course more chocolate, and a bit of a coffee with cream note. Fairly smooth though. Medium body which is weak for the style and a soft carbonation. I like a lot about this beer but it needs to be heavy bodied and maybe have some more bitterness in the finish.

Dec 30, 2009 Pours black with thick head which unfortunately disappears quickly. Sweet caramel, chocolate, coffee aromas. Tastes what it smells like: lots of flavors typical of Imp Stouts, very well balanced. Sticky texture, medium body (I’d like to have a bit more body in this). Overall I enjoyed it a lot.
