Avery The Czar Imperial Stout

On tap. Blackish-brown with beige head. Cocoa-malty nose. Mild coffee and chocolate flavor, smooth, with a warming boozy touch and dark-chocolate bitterness. Damned enjoyable... Not all that complex I thought, but very tasty and drinkable for its strength.

2007 bomber. near total black color with a thick tan head that disappears quickly. not much in the way of lacing. nose is sharp - sweet toffee, caramel, leather, dark fruits, spice and molasses. relatively thin palate (for what I was expecting anyway). taste is candied sweetness mixed with chocolate and coffee. there’s an astringent quality to it as well. good balanced heat from the alcohol. I liked this better as it warmed up, but a little sweet for my imp stout tastes. K-6.5

Pours thick and black with a tan head that disappears. Aroma is chocolate, molasses and ripe fruit. Taste is of dark overripe fruit, a little chocolate and sugar. Bitter hoppy aftertaste with a bit of lingering sweetness and some boozy warmth.

2007 bottle: Pours a maple brown with a little light brown head that rings the glass. Aroma of caramel, light nuts, brown sugar, and coffee. Very sweet maple sugar taste at first with a little coffee and a slightly roasty, nutty, woody alcohol finish. Slightly thin in the body, but a deep flavor palate

(USA) Pours a nice black color with a dissipating sm-tan head. Aroma is of toffee and molasses with a slight bitter chocolate / dark fruit taste. The alcohol is present, The 11.04% will sneak up on you !!! The mouthfeel is simi thick and kinda creamy. Not bad at all, Avery has some nice beers.
