4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Draught at Goerge Keely’s NYC. Pours pitch black with a mocha head. Taste is incredibley smooth: coffee with very little bittneress. Velvety smooth. Some chocolate notes but coffee is the main flavor and aroma here. A really terrific beer.
4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Pours totally black with a brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, caramel, chocolate, vanilla, licorice and some alcohol. Taste is medium sweet and roasty leading to a dry roasty and bitter finish. Beautifully smooth in the mouth. Yeah, it’s pretty much one of the best beers I’ve ever had!

bottle. black with quick brown head. alcohol brings a sweet fruity note to the aroma. also notes of dark chocolate. the coffee comes in big time in the flavor with notes of dark chocolate and red grapes. medium full. not overly hopped...it lets the malts and the coffee up front. moderate carbonatio and a light hop addition are key to a great imp stout!

Good god. How the hell is this a shelf beer? Viscous black pour, beige head that fades away. Nose is rich coffee, dark chocolate, sweet malts. Taste is huge dark chocolate, espresso, rich malts. Initially sweet finish with rich dark chocolate covered fruits followed by a rich black coffee bitterness. Sticky, nearly full mouthfeel. Enjoyed this much more than the BA version.

So very very excited for this beer! Pour: Jet black, Big creamy tanned head. Lots of coffee on the nose, with some vanilla. The more I drink this beer the better it gets, at first mostly coffee was tasted but vanilla starts coming in more and more with some dark chocolate. Hides the alcohol incredibly well. Top class stout and must let this beer warm up before you drink.

This is by far one of my favorites. I wish I could get AleSmith in Virginia! very smooth but large mouthful. Bold flavor with no bitterness.
4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is a great beer. Amazing you can find it pretty much year round in Arizona. About perfect levels of carbination and viscosity. Love the barrel aged and Kopi Luwak versions too.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Almost black, frothy tan head. Sweet aroma of chocolate, black coffee, roasted malt, caramel, and hints of dark fruits. Smooth, moderately boozy, full-bodied, and much more bitter in taste. A little too much carbonation. Finish is long and bitter.

My hopes were probably unrealistic after finally finding this top rated brew. I did enjoy it quite a bit but it wasn’t quite the transcendent experience I’d expected. There were some metallic elements I didn’t like and the mouth feel was a little weaker than I expected. That being said, it is a very good beer.

2013 bottle. Huge thick black pour with plenty of thick tanned head. The smell is exactly what you would expect, thick black coffee, roasted malts, chocolate and so on, for sure smells BIG!. Up front there is big hit of roasted malts, aftertaste is coffee and black licorce, one mean stout...AWESOME
