BroSpud (583), , Massachusetts, USA Oct 28, 2009 12oz bottle. An excellent impy. Pours dark with a creamy head and lasting lacing. Chocolate taste is definitely there along with coffee and vanilla. Maybe slightly more alcohol taste though to be expected given the hefty ABV. tennessejed420 (69), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 27, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours gorgeous jet black with nice brown head. Smells of chocolate, licorice. Mellow taste of rich chocolate, other malts detectable, not too syrupy, nice lasting finish. Excellent. dyetube (397), Dallas, Texas, USA Oct 27, 2009 This beer pours black with a thin tan head. The aromas are chocolate, coffee and vanilla bean. The flavors are dark chocolate and roasted coffee. This is a scrumptious stout! Go grab one. Now! I’ll wait....
Cheers! caresville (106), Vernon, New Jersey, USA Oct 26, 2009 pours jet black with a nice little ice cream cone colored head that fades slowly with time. smells of raisins, prunes and other dried fruits. heavy on alcohol from the nose also. tastes like bitter black coffee, dark malts, obviously chocolate, and roasty. as it goes down you dont taste the alcohol per se, but it does tingle the gums and throat a little and that bitter black coffee transforms into a smooth mocha taste. overall a very complex and delicious brew. McWorta (39), Luxembourg Oct 26, 2009 Roasted malts, hay/toast and chocolate. Tiny leather aroma and basement/attic aroma. Smells of wood and wet rock.
Pitch black,nice chocolate brown head but fading fast.
Light bitter with a certain acidity building a light sweetness.
A full body, with chocolate tastes on the back of the palate. Light fizzy. At first thin but fast building into an oily slick texture. A long and full flavoured finish.
A very well balanced hiddenly strong stout. Very appealing. Cavie (1299), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Oct 25, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Pflug. We drank it while he slept. Very dark pour. Smells of apple juice and dark malts. Taste has heavy bitter malts. Not fantastic but flavorful. graham515 (419), Houston, Texas, USA Oct 25, 2009 Pours black into the glass with a brown head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, and dark raisins. Flavor is alcoholic with roasted grain bitterness and chocolate. Body is thin. Good beer, but the body is too thin for me to give it an excellent rating. Fratto (662), Arlington, Texas, USA Oct 25, 2009 Bottle thanks to Pflug. Almost a black pour with a small brown head. Big chocolate smell, with some boozy dark fruit. Flavor is coffee, chocolate, alcohol.
