07.09.05 tap at brewpub, RBSG. Black with dark brown head. Aroma is big coffee but also tons of dark, bittersweet chocolate. It’s all creamy love, no overhopped hate. Thick, extra creamy, very, very, very nice all-around brew. Maybe the best balanced impy stout I’ve ever had. Some toasted marshmallow. This is the little brother of Sam Smith’s Impy Stout that’s all grown up and kicking big bro’s butt. For me, it throws a big beat down on Peche Mortel, too. Wow, the highlight of my summer of 2005!

Sep 25, 2008 DDC Draft. Black body with a tan head. Lots of bitter chocolate, vanilla, carmel sweet taste. Etoh is noticable in a fruit like flavor complementing the chocolate. Real Good. .

Sep 15, 2008 Draft @ DDC 10th Anniversary Party. Pours a very dark, chocolate-brown color; creamy, textured medium-brown head with great retention and fine-bubbled lacing; a gorgeous beer. Lots of roasted malts, bitter chocolate, and dry cocoa in the aroma; hidden alcohol; soft, generous nose. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of roasted nuts, roasted malts, dark chocolate and bitter cocoa; soft edges; creamy, complex, highly roasted and lots of bitter chocolate; very drinkable, nutty, enjoyable imperial stout. Lengthy finish: roasted / charred malts, nuttiness and dark chocolate; nicely dry.

May 16, 2008 1/18/08 notes: on tap at DdC. Hands down best beer of the night which included Peche Mortel. Features a brown head that doesn’t go away. Flavors include creamy vanilla, nutty, and a little malt sweetness, Perfect balance and thick mouthfeel makes this a real pleasure to drink. This is really something special. I think the vanilla and creamy mouthfeel set this apart.
