Arcadia Imperial Stout

Cocoa bean brown color, light cocoa-powder brown on top (slush, not head). Almost black, absolutely opaque. Oily dark roasted malt aroma; dark raisin, cocoa, bourbon, Kahlua/black licorice. Beastly in the nose. Warmth/decanting brings out sweet chocolate. Charred ash-wood flavor, stone fruits and raisin/dates. Bourbon alcohol burn. A brutal, charred stout flavor. Feels oily smooth, thick, viscous, and burns at the swallow. A top notch Imperial stout. Thick, burnt, oily, challenging and delicious.

Weak for an impy..Black in color...No head. Weak aroma of coffee and dark fruits/berries. Taste is coffee with light chocolate.

Tap at MBG Summer Festival. Poured dark brown with a dark brown body. Dark coffee and chocolate notes. Flavor had dark notes throughout with some alcohol notes.

Had poured from a 12 oz. bottle. Oddly enough the aroma is sour and bacony. The flavor is dark roasted malt with coffee and chocolate backing.

Weak charcoal and currant aroma. Black, headless pour. Relatively strong dark chocolate and molasses flavor. Smoky charcoal finish. Flavorful and drinkable.. Rather simple for an imp stout, but delicious.

Bottle. Pours black with a ultra small tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, mild coffee, chocolate, dark fruit and a hint of molasses. Oily smooth mouthfeel. Flavor was mellow and well balanced with roasted malts, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, dark fruit and licorice with a medium to full body.

Bottle - thanks mcox90. Near black pour with a finger of creamy brown head. Aroma is a dry and sweet chocolate with light roasty notes. Tastes lightly malty with faint roast, a little cocoa, a tiny bit of molasses, and dark fruits. Kind of muddled. Just didn’t jive with this...

12 oz bottle into a tulip. Dark black pour with an average tan head and lace. It smells mostly like cold coffee and dark bitter chocolate. The taste is malty coffee with a dry finish. Not a great palate as it is almost oily. It looks much thicker than it tastes. Overall a fine stout.
