This is one ghetto looking beer label. It looks like it was done in WordPerfect 2.0. But i did enjoy the Mash. A little roasty. Hids the alcohol level well. Kind of, not bland, but limited for a Imperial. Nothing that really stands out about it. I don’t really notice the intense hop aroma, just the sweet, roasty, malts.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours deep black, very little head. Mouthfeel spectacular and creamy like a good stout should be. Burnt, coffee, chocolate taste. Very good imperial stout but doesn’t quite match up with the top of the heap. Best beer I have had from High Point.

Jul 20, 2008 Three bottles shared with blankboy, HogTownHarry, jerc, mabel & tupalev - courtesy of HogTownHarry & blankboy. Deep brown-black with a small tan head. Aroma of rich, sweet malt with a slightly lactic backnote. Medium bodied. Flavour is similar to the aroma - big malts, a bit of lactose - along with some building herbal elements from the hops. Body is a bit light for the style, but OK. All in all, a good impy, but not a great one. Gotta love the low-budget labels, though!

The aroma is slightly grassy with cocoa and fruit and roasted malt. The body is brown hued black and holds a small tan head. The first sip gives a bit of hot alcohol followed by some green vegetable notes like fresh unroasted coffee beans. Very grainy flavor for an imperial stout. Some mild chocolate and coffee notes. Also get a bit of green tobacco. Odd, not bad, just very different.

Jul 15, 2008 2008-07-11. Black body with a very small brown head that fades. Alcohol in the aroma, touch of wood or something odd. Rough alcohol note to the flavour, bitterness has some nice hop notes, but can be a bit jarring at times. Some nice chocolate undertones. Can’t really make up my mind on this one, it definitely has its moments. Smooth average to medium palate, lightly carbonated. My numbers are a touch higher than I remembered actually liking it, but who knows I was clearly conflicted! Bottles shared by Blankboy and HogTownHarry
