ElDuderino (48), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA 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. Petrucci914 (456), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA 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! BrewCzar (77), St Louis, Missouri, USA 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. WeeHeavySD (2186), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jan 4, 2009 Bomber that I may have had before, but hell I hadn’t rated it and its a locally available imperial stout. Pours black with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and slightly maltty sweet. Taste is rich with a big kick of coffee and overall damn nice hoppy bite. Pretty tasty. Blaketj80 (28), Oklahoma, USA Jan 3, 2009 Pours with decent light brown head and has smokey aroma. Drank at 50. It is pretty complex and goes down quite smooth. A pretty decent beer that is enjoyable to drink
