Mar 5, 2003 Mulled roasted coffee flavors. Thought I tasted some chicory up in here. Cloying with not much body to throw around.

Mar 4, 2003 My first Deschutes and I went straight for the Imperial. It was lighter in color... my Imperial Stout better be blackety black!!!! Very plain coffee roast nose and slightly chalky and bitter (which is good). Not a strong Imperial Stout, although it did boast 9%.

Mar 3, 2003 Aroma seems to lack a strong character, slightly chocolatey. Flavor begins slightly bland, then a bourbon/chocolate flavor follows. Not a lot of hop character, another imperial tasted at the RAF that seemed a bit thin for the style. Smooth mouthfeel, soft finish, average for the style.

Mar 2, 2003 RAF: very sweet, brown sugar aroma. Dark with little carbonation, alcohol present and warming. Rather bitter, with a slightly thin finish (watery). Dry finish in the palate.
