wetherel (1033), Carlsbad, California, USA Apr 22, 2008 Bonus bottle from kramer17801 on 3/25/08. With a very heavy pour a small tan head of medium bubbles forms and then quickly disappears. A little bit of roast, a little bit of BMC in the aroma. I’m not sure about this...Well, actually the flavor is not half bad. Leans a little sweet. I think I might actually finish this one for a change. Pretty nice beer.
peter (350), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 4, 2008 Dark pour with tan head. Nose is marshmallows, and roast. A little heavy handed with the black patent (looks like it was actually roasted barley) Lacks the thick mouth feel I want from an IS. Pleasant, but nothing to go out looking for. sonicstylee (12), cayuga, New York, USA Sep 30, 2008 pours dark and seemingly thick, smells hard of roasted malts and chocolate. thin light tan head. thin mouthfeel, not quite as full as most imperials, almost a hint of smokey-ness.a quality beer nonetheless. kevd193213 (336), Coventry, Rhode Island, USA Sep 28, 2008 Bottle. Black pour with a medium coffee head. Aroma of caramel and molasses. Taste of malt and chocolate with a slight hoppy finish. A little thin for an imperial, but very enjoyable (and affordable). bigtaster (116), Grand Rapids, USA Sep 22, 2008 Pours vlack with quickly receeding tan head. Sweet aroma of dark fruits and black coffee. Watery thin body for an inmperial stout. Alot of malt carmal sweetness, not balanced and definitly not and Imperial Stout. RedXIII (86), Powell, Ohio, USA Sep 22, 2008 My only quarrel with this beer is it’s "imperial" title. More of a stout, but there’s nothing standard about this beer. Aroma bursts of roasted oatmeal and chocolate. Not thick like an imperial but very creamy, smooth and flavorful. Taste is milky chocolate and malty coffee. Very drinkable and not sure why it’s not rated higher.
