bconger (73), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Feb 29, 2008 Bottle. Black pour with thick, foamy, mocha head. Aromas of toast, EtOH, leather, and, oddly, bananas. Tastes winey, with heavy EtOH appropriate for the style. Caramel + toast = Cracker Jacks!! Also coffee and chocolate. Not as sweet as I thought it would be, which is fine. Finishes with balanced, back-of-the-tongue hops that diminish rather quickly. gotbeach (128), San Diego, California, USA Feb 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark black with a tan head. Chocolate, and coffee dominate the smooth flavors that finishes dry. Juelze (889), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Feb 28, 2008 Updated: Mar 3, 2008Trade from Tertons. Thanks! Pours a dark black color with thick brown head that fades quickly. Aroma is all alcohol upfront. What a mess! The alcohol overpowers everything with just bits of pepper, light chocolate, and charred malt. Taste is much the same with a bit of yeast and basement funk. Seriously, what a mess of a beer. Brash, one sided, and just a letdown. Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Feb 27, 2008 Big winner, lots of chocalte, coffee, toffee and dark molasses flavors. oily and highly malty, this is the one to drink. nick76 (2634), Tampa, Florida, USA Feb 27, 2008 The aroma is very toasted with chocolate, coffee, and molasses. The appearance is dark brown with a tan head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thick. Overall it’s neat and good. pforei (338), USA Feb 26, 2008 Updated: Mar 4, 2008Black with frothy tan head that dissipates, leaving only a ring. Chocolate/caramel, coffee, dark fruit, with wood, vanilla and faint banana. The typical chocolate/coffee taste of an imp stout is quickly interrupted by a blast of uncooth/synthetic vanilla and alcohol. Zippo24 (11), Springfield, New Jersey, USA Feb 26, 2008 deep dark black stout with a toasty brown thin foam head.. rich burnt chocolate/coffee flavoring with a bittersweet toffee lingering on the tongue.. minimal lacing but very easy on the palate for a beer with a 10.6% alc content HUNTERNFLA (25), USA Feb 25, 2008 thick and dark beer tastes of coffe and chocolate overtones fruit and alcohol.
