Commercial Description:
The beer is a dry Imperial Stout - creamy and rich with color as black as night. It has aromas of roasted coffee and dark chocolate, hints of molasses, toffee and caramel in the taste. Clipper City will produce only a small batch, so availability is extremely limited. IBU'S: 30 Malts: Crisp English Pale, Crisp Crystal, Chocolate and Roasted Barley Hops: Styrian Goldings, Fuggles Magnum and Amarillo

12 oz bottle thanks to Jeff for bringing this one to the Fight Night Tasting Round II. Pours with a solid black center and brown edges with an average size creamy beige head. Chalky, dusty aroma with notes of chocolate, hops and alcohol. Body is thin for an Impy Stout with slight carbonation. Flavor of 10 %dish soap, 10% bbq sauce, 10% mint and 70% chocolate all thrown into a blender. Not really an Imperial but for that matter not really that great anyway.

Pours dark black with a small brown head. Aroma is heavly malty of cookies and roasted/burnt malts and mild coffee, lightly hoppt and moderately yeast, with some alcohol. Flavor is nicely roasty, almost burnt, very well balanced with firm bitternes Ends rosty with long finish.

12 oz bottle. Aroma of chocolate with roast malts. Very dark amber brown. Dark roast malts dominate flavor with a bit of sour astringency. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Finishes moderately dry with a moderate bitterness and a bit of husky woody astringency. Quite Tasty!
