Draft. Blck with good creamy tan head. Aroma of deep roasted malt and some bittrer sweet chocolate.Nice firm body. the taste was the same as the aroma with nice smooth finish. Very good beer.

Tap @ the pub. Now 9% ABV. Poured opaque with a copper edge and tan head. Semi-sweet roasted malt with light alcohol notes. Roasted and sweet malt flavor with some smoky notes. Warming with a medium body and silky mouthfeel.

On draft at the pub. Aroma of coccoa and roasted malts primarily. Poured a nice black with a decent chocolatey head. Flavor was nice meld of coccoa, roast malts and tad of vanilla and molasses. Palate was medium bodied and nicely creamy. Overall, I think this could be the best I’ve had at the brewworks. Very tasty.

Poured an opaque black color with a medium sized, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of cocoa, roasted malts, dark fruits, sherry, nuts, and seemingly alot of oxidation. Taste was oily, acrid roast, some cocoa, vanilla, soy, char, a bit of butter, and some tartness, followed by some alcohol. I think this has been on tap for a bit too long.

Draft at brewpub. Pours black with a thick brown head and nice lacing. Medium to full bodied with a smooth creamy texture. Flavor of chocolate cake, dark fruit, vanilla, and roasted malts. I like the level of residual sweetness. Bitterness is rather subdued on this one, as well as the burnt coffee traits, which works in the beer’s favor in my opinion. Sometimes I want to have an imperial stout, but without killing my palate. This beer does the trick. This is sort of a session Impy, and would be a good crossover beer for noobs.

Very nice impy stout, black in color, big but soft brown head, excellent lacing left around the glass, aroma full of coffee, chocolate & burnt malts, lots of roasted notes in both the aroma & flavors, medium in body & mouthfeel, pretty drinkable & smooth, big & bold flavors with more notes of dark chocolate, burnt malt, oak, a touch of vanilla & slight hops just for good measure, long lingering finish with a little hint of cream & alcohol, a very nice stout

3.30.07 on tap. Very roasty. Dark. Powerful Stout. Not syrupy or over-bearing. Lit and stoked our fires that night in preparation for the Steelgaarden

thanks to Ty5592 . I loved this. poured black with small brown head. nose was chocolate, roasted and a touch of smoke. I drank the whole growler in one sitting. LOVED THIS, can’t understand the lower ratings?

on tap- pours a tan head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-chocolate/coffee. Taste is dark malt-chocolate/coffee, acidic, secondary hops. OK carbonation. Occasional. 2.7

On tap at the BBW as part of the sampler. Pours a deep black with a medium size creamy dark tan head that left some lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, vanilla, some chocolate and caramel. Flavor had lots of roasted malts, caramel, chocolate, kind of on the sweet side and not much in terms of hops in the flavor or aroma.

Dark, blackish pour with a roasty-chocolate aroma. Taste was nice and chocolatey with some coffee thrown in, but didn’t seem as smooth or well balanced as most good Impy stouts. A bit thin – not bad.
