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

Dark brown color - very slightly translucent - thin beige head. Armoa of dark fruits, molasses and a slight hint of sulfur. Flavor is fairly clean and rich, with touches of raisin, brown sugar and roasted malt. Body is fairly creamy and smooth with just a bit on an alcoholic bite. Not a world class Imperial, but quite drinkable.

12oz bottle at Puals 08’. Roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and damp earth. Nice mouth feel and body. Nice Imp. stout for the price point. We both enjoyed this one.

Hint of cherry, plum, chocolate on the nose. Low carbonation and a unique mouthfeel...not too heavy and not too oily, but well balanced. Finish emphasized roasted malty bitterness and a left a dry feeling on the tongue. Showed some interesting potential for future complexity and introduced more of it’s characteristics as it warmed up. Nice Imperial Stout...nothing earth shattering, but a good effort all around.

It pours a dark brown color with a thick head that fades a litle but still last through out the duration of the beer. The nose is very robust and full of roasted malt with chocolate and hints of black coffee. The flavor is not bad although it is a bit watery it still has some complexity with a nice bitter cocoa and roasted coffee. Overall it is not a bad beer for the price and you can get it just about any where.

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a smaller tan head. Nose is sweet, chocolatey, and roasted malt. Flavor is roasty into a bittersweet cocoa. Some coffee. Dry, lingering bittersweetness. Kind of had a porter feel to it, but still enjoyable. Thanks Jeremy.
