On draft in Columbus "Brewhouse". I was disappointed to discover that they don’t actually brew the beer on site. Of all the beers I tasted on this visit, I was looking forward to this stout the most. Impys are my favorite style. Aroma of chocolate was very mild. Appearance was very dark brown with dark tan head. Mouthfeel on first sip was very watery. Flavors were restrtained and not as bold and rich as I am accustomed too on Big Stouts. All in all, this was a decent Imperial. I would urge BJ’s to just keep it on tap and never consider bottling it. There are just too many better Imperials available out there in Beerland.

Nov 20, 2008 Nitro impy stout. tastes pretty non descript with a hefty alcohol presence. full bodied but the nitro killed it for me. without it it’d probably be a fine beer.

Oct 18, 2008 Draft at the Laguna Brewpub. Pours black with a slight white head. Oats in the nose and on the tongue. Pretty good stout but lacking the characteristics to be an imerial stout.

Oct 12, 2008 Tap at BJ’s in Sugar Land. Pours black with a big brown head. Nose is of roast coffee and cocoa. taste is cocoa powder with some coffee. Mouthfeel is medium and a bit chalky. a bit too simple.
