not an imperial stout? 22 oz bottle pours near-black with a head that’s slightly darker than "cream" color. roasted aroma, and fairly green - some oaky aromas but they’re certainly behind the black and burnt elements. medium-bodied (especially considering the label and name would suggest that it’s an imperial stout); roast barley and oak flavors dominate and there are only traces of hops and vanilla. there are far better stouts to be had, especially for the price, although it’s not bad. my next one had better be free or on clearance if there are other stouts available.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle. Thanks to Santa. Poured a dark black body with thin head. aroma is roasted chocolate malt, oak. Flavor is light oak, chocolate, coffee and roasted malt with a light hoppiness to it. Smooth and quite delicious.

Aug 24, 2008 Darker brown pour with a slightly oaky aroma that mixes with chocolate, and roasty malts. Flavor is a bit chocolatey and roasty with a kind of one demensional oak profile. Smooth, but weaker feel. Not bad, but I was hoping for more.
