Jun 7, 2007 Courtesy SoLan. Pours a very lightly cloudy orange red with a small white head. Smells of mild hops with a decent malty background. Some citrus and a hint of some caramel too. Taste has a profound bitterness to it, as expected. Some hops, but a biggger malt base than I was expecting. get a little caramel in there as well. Not overly complex, it was mostly bitter. Finishes pretty smooth. Good beer to just drink one of.

Feb 18, 2007 Updated: Mar 29, 2007Ouch, friends. Somehow this beer manages to cause a hangover at first taste. "Headache in a bottle" is an approriate phrase I’ve heard. That said, it is still actually delicious. Beautifully clear pour with a thin, creamy head. Weak aroma to my senses, but a perfect mix of maltiness and tart... and hints of lots of other subtle flavors very well blended. Finishes with a pleasing dry citric zing-- and with a painful throbbing of the brain as expected of the finish from most "strong" beers. Otherwise a lovely drink.

Dec 27, 2005 Deep copper color, thin head with a malty, somewhat hoppy aroma. The mouth is full and sweet, with a background bitterness. Slight fruitiness and a moderately bitter fadeout. So far the Heavy Seas line is impressive for it’s attempts, but somewhat of a letdown in the results. Still recommended though.

Mar 20, 2007 On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Deep amber brown. Ful hop bitterness somewhat balanced with malt flavors. Would like it smoother but I guess thats what makes it Imperial

Dec 4, 2009 From a bottle poured amber with a fair amount of head. Nice hoppy flavor with a kinging finish.

Dec 30, 2007 Pours a clear ruby-red color with a nice off-white head. Crisp hop aroma, pine accents. Medium bodied, hops outweigh malts here, but not overwhelmingly. Christmas cookies with a bitter finish. Not bad.

Apr 9, 2007 Not nearly as good as the beer that first bore this name, a nice attempt to "double" a style that is probably pretty difficult to "double", way too malty, overly sweet, over-the-top heavy, very filling, more like a syrup than a beer, very disappointing, especially seeing as though I enjoy ESB’s so much, very lacking the hop department, only a little spiciness toward the back & in the finish, not a very enjoyable beer experience but some decent numbers for some of the flavors & for the attempt in "imperalizing" a bitter
