BlackForestCO (819), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Jan 29, 2008 Updated: Feb 19, 2009Bottle. Pours a deep brown color with a fluffy tan head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, some chocolate and coffee, and a bit of oak. Interesting flavor profile, starts out smooth and chocolaty, moving into a middle that contained a roasty oak flavor, which mellows to a slight fruit hint upon the finish. Seems a bit thin in the beginning, but then it begins filling out. Alright, but nothing to get to pumped up about. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jan 29, 2008 22oz bomber(courtesy of RSRIZZO)-A pitch black body with a nice small tight tan head which emits an aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, cherry, and a faint of oak. Taste of this full bodied brew is of chocolate, coffee, with a nice oaky finish. A little light for a stout but still very tasty. Chapel (329), Levittown, New York, USA Jan 29, 2008 Bomber with MaliMisho. Poured dark black with a dark brown head as if to imitate an imperial stout (the bottle lists it as an ’empirical stout’). Aroma and flavor strongly of chocolate and some thick cherry. Not has heavy as I would have expected from looking at it.

Overall – Excellent Impy Stout this beer rocks . I loved the flavors deep chocolate and cofee flavors. This was a deep flavored beer for those who understand beers. bigrond (1043), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 28, 2008 had this on tap it was pretty good, but nothing really special. The higher alcohol content was nice.
IMtheOptimator (1161), Bethel, Connecticut, USA Jan 27, 2008 Poured dark brown with ruby highlites with an off-white head. Aroma of milk chocolate, cherry, a bit of wood and smoke. Flavor follows with chocolate, smoke, charcoal, and quite a bit of fruit essence. Decent flavor is watered down a bit by a sub-par body. A decent stout that didn’t blow me away. ryan (1774), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Jan 26, 2008 Provided by jasonp. Dark brown with a medium-sized light tan head. Dark chocolate, roasty nose wth light brown sugar. The flavor is relatively dry with dark chocolate, light molasses, coffee and roast. Medium body is soft with moderate carbonation. kmweaver (2398), Sebastopol, California, USA Jan 26, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of jasonp. Thanks, Jason! Pours a dark, clear cherry-cola color; khaki-colored head with fine-bubbled lacing. Upfront aroma showing oatmeal, chocolate, and cardboard in the aroma; not an exceptional oak character at all. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of roasted and charred malts, dark chocolate, and toasted malts; slightly hollow chocolate notes, with an artificial oak presence; all but certainly oak chips; cardboard and vanilla syrup. Medium finish showing chocolate and roast in the finish; some toasted malts.
