Pours dark brown with a finger of tan head. Aroma is of caramel, hops, and roasted malts. Tastes of roasted malts, bitter, vanilla, caramel, and coffee. Has a nice long taste on the tongue. Clown shoes is top of my list in breweries. They do them all very well.

Black pour with a small mocha head. Lower carbonation. Big aroma,, rich dark chocolate, molasses, lots of roast. Taste is the same, with some coffee bitterness. slightly charred quality to this one. Creamy mouthfeel, full body. Alcohol well hidden here.

Bomber from Imbibe Wine. Nose is chocolate, cooked oats, and a slight smoky hint. Black with a small tan head. Flavor is slightly sweet, slightly bitter, chocolate, and a little char.

Bottle: Medium sized, vast and thick and very slowly changing ashy brown head on top of a pitch blak beer. Aromas of dark chocolate, barley roast, some hops, some carbo gass, light hint of spices, roast, some tar, some herbs & spices, hint of garbage and cabbage. Flavours of (dark) chocolate, coffee beans, roasted barleys, bitter, coffee roast, some cacoa, wood burn, malt roast, light earth and the slightest hint of something coal a like. Overall a good dark bitter roast. Aftertaste is a bitter with chocolate, barley malt roast, coffee and some herbal roast. Low carbo, soft smooth creamy mouthfeel, full body and a creamy texture. Quite basic but very solid. And it’s easy drinkable with a smooth deeper dive...

Bottle, bought @ Kihoskh, Cph. Pours opaque deep black with a medium, staying, creamy, beige head. Aroma has sweet chocolate, light chestnut, a hint of coffee, light blackberry. Low to medium carbonation, fine dry and very creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has lovely luscious chocolate, a smoked hint, nuts, light roasted. A bit of coffee and mild vinious notes. Very mellow and well balanced. By far Clown Shoes’ best Imperial Stout.

Very well made American Imperial Stout that is rich and sweet with notes of coffee and chocolate. Very little head when poured into glass from a 22 oz bottle but nice lacing that lingers. Aroma is pure coffee and Bourbon. Color is pitch black and beautiful.

Pours a pitch black with a small khaki head with some lacing. Aroma is of roasted malts, smoked meats, espresso, and a little booze. Taste is roasted malts, smoked meats, espresso coffee, dark chocolate, anise, licorice, and some burnt caramel. Has a medium-full body with a creamy mouthfeel and a semi dry, semi bitter, moderately long finish with no noticeable alcohol. Ov Overall, a pretty nice Imp. stout that hides its abv very well.

bottle. pours black with almost perfect tan head. big big chocolate and nutty aroma. taste is thick roasty sweet. burnt sugar and nice hop finish

A delectable cauldron of blackness, this beast smells of roasted malt, coffee, anise, and booze. The flavor spectrum is complex with interwoven layers of sweetness and bitterness. Thick and creamy, lively carbonation. This is a tasty beast! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sweet, woody, toasty, and caramel. Very smooth and syrupy with a well hidden ABV. Better flavor and smoother, more syrupy palate than Blaecorn Unidragon.
