Pours a deep black beer with fine creamy head. The smell is very malty, chocolatey, coffee and some whiskey. The beer starts with voluminous malt body, much bitter aromas of roasted coffee comes through, also very delicious aroma hops. In the finish, a whiskey flavor is noticeable, coupled with a massive malt body and lots of roasted malts and some chocolate!

Black body and tan head. Roasted malt, some bitter chocolate and some coffee aroma. Smooth body, soft, and creamy palate. Roasted malt, Chocolate to coffee flavor and finish bitter. A Very good Stout.

UPDATED: JUL 31, 2011 Description says ruby, looks more of a chocolaty black. Decent sized tan head that faded quickly into a small layer of foaminess. Smells of chocolate and a bit of hops. Roasted grains and malt. Smooth, creamy, velvety chocolate taste. A bit of bitterness in the back. There is some inkling of hops in there, but they are balanced out nicely with the malt. This beer is pretty good.

Tasted on 7/28/11 from a 22oz bottle purchased at Binny’s Skokie, batch 04 best before 09/09/09. Pours an opaque, very dark brown with some white bubbles that form, but no real head. The nose is full of dark and milk chocolate with darkly roasted malt, molasses, and some underlying smoky aromas and light mocha coffee. The flavor is a little more complex with the milk chocolate showing lightly sweet up front, moving to the more bitter roasted notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and smoke, and a hint of almost fruity molasses with something that is almost savory as well. The body is medium with very light carbonation and a long dark chocolate, mocha, and almost savory finish. Although we are almost two years past the best by date on this beer, it is still quite tasty, and not showing any nutty or wet cardboard signs of oxidation.

pours a light black color. fizzy, soda-like head. aroma of earth, roasted malt, sediment, and light burnt malt. flavor of light vinegar, light earthy malt ans hops, and a touch of caramelized sugar. thin, watery

Very nice imperial stout indeed. (This beer rating was imported from FB and unfortunately lacks any further comments.)
