Jan 19, 2009 I’ve had this a few times and surpisingly no rating (this one is a rather fresh bottle). Dark brown with a small-med & fading tan head. Aroma has lots of sugar, some coconut, some roast, and coffee. Flavor has some hop presence up front with light coffee, chocolate (mostly bittersweet) and some earthiness. Smooth finish with a nice feel. Good, but always disappoints me just a bit.

Jan 17, 2009 22 oz. Almost black in color with a medium tan head. Aroma is roasty, some light coffee, some darker crystal malts and some mild citrus hops. Taste isn’t as big as most imperial stouts- roasty, with some sharp crystal malts, slightly astringent- mild earthy and citrus hop flavor. Not as rich as most imperial stouts. Finishes with some lingering roast. Certainly not bad, not sure if I would buy it again though.

Jan 17, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours black with a moderate tan head that lasted through the first third of the glass and left partial lace. Very pleasant aroma of roasted malt and chocolate with a few notes of coffee and alcohol. The flavor is mostly roasted malt with less chocolate than the aroma suggests along with a just a bit of cardboard. There is no coffee in the flavor at all. A decent dose of bitter hops at the finish, which is frankly hoppier than I care for in an imperial stout. Medium-full bodied. A solid stout.

Jan 15, 2009 65cl bottle courtesy of siebenmorgan.Pours a dark black color with one finger tan head that settles quickly but provides lacing to the glass. Aroma is roasted malt and floral hops with notes of dark chocolate, ripe dark fruit, molasses, hints of honey and caramel. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of dark chocolate, floral hops, slight grapefruit, citrus, molasses, tobacco, brown sugar. Generally medium to full body with slight floral notes on finish.

Jan 14, 2009 Pours brown and sits jet black in glass. Huge fluffy root beer head that doesnt go anywhere fast. Nice and hoppy in the nose. Chocolate, malt and bitter chocolate hop finish on taste. Fairly thin mouth, well balanced and no taste of booze. Swirl smells like chocolate milk Could very well be a go-to stout for all occasions.

Jan 6, 2009 On tap at The Roadhouse in Brookline. The body is a pure black and does not fade at the edges. My glass arrived with a small, almost gone, tan head that never seemed to reappear. The smell seemed subdued with faint chalky, bready notes and hints of caramel. Flavor is full of roast sweet malts and a surprising abundance of floral hops. The mouthfeel was heavy, as expected, but the hop presence definitely lightened the mood and made this more like a sessionable stout, if that is possible.

Jan 6, 2009 Pours pitch black with a huge creamy mocha head with good retention and some sticky-icky lacing. Aroma is very hoppy, roasted malts, semi-sweet chocolate, and a hint of bitter coffee. Taste is somewhat bitter, but the hoppiness is much more citric than oddly bitter (ahem...Ten Fidy). Mouthfeel is creamy and there is a nice overall taste of roasted malts with some chocolate and coffee to spice up the finish a bit. I wouldn’t really consider this an Impy, though. Great beer for the price!

Jan 6, 2009 Bomber pours dark brown with a medium beige head. Slightly sweet aroma hints of roasted malts, and some hops. Taste is of burnt malts some coffee and a slightly hppy bitter finish. Mouth feel is slightly thin to medium, but clean. Pretty basic stout, nothing stands out though.
