Eel River Ravens Eye Imperial Stout

~Pours black with creamy off white head. ~Nice coffee and malty scent. A bit mild though. ~Sweet malt flavor, some bitter chocolate. Way too sweet. ~Rich creamy feel. Bitter finish. ~Good promise on this one. Just way too sweet for me.

black, opaque, no bubbles, small dark brown head. really sweet aroma of chocolate and molasses, tar, maybe a hint of cinnamon. flavors of chocolate, espresso. really dark and good. creamy palate with a medium body. long lingering bitter espresso finish. really impressed with this one.

Pours a very dark brown/black color with some ruby hints that show up when light shines through. The head on the beer is thing and tan colored. Aroma is heavy of dark roasted malt, lots of prune and raisin sweetness present as well as a small amount of chocolate. Flavor begins with a pretty some dark roasted flavor and quickly moves into a sweet dark fruity flavor that lasts through most of the rest of the tasting and ends with a light chocolate hint. The beer feels pretty smooth and creamy with your mouth due to the perfect carbonation. Overall the beer was good but it has nothing really to excite or deter one from trying it out, just an average beer.

Thanks bro! Pours a brown color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is light roasts, medium malts, and a bit of dark fruit. Taste is much the same. Good but not memorable.

Thanks to me, whee! Pours a rich brown color with medium off white color. Aroma is light fig, coffee, sweet malt. Taste of rich caramel malt, light hops, toffee, mild fruit and some alcohol. Finishes pretty smooth. Good stuff.

Picked this up at binny’s. Never had an Organic imperial stout before. Dark pour that light just barely squeaks through. Aroma of chocolate and coffee, a bit roastiness. Chocolatey, roasty flavor with bits of coffee. A bit thin mouthfeel, with nice carbonation. Flavor is pretty good though, despite the thinnish mouthfeel.

The bit bottle poured (carefully) nearly black with chestnut highlights and a smallish tan head, settling after about 30 seconds. Sweet chocolatey flavor with good roasted bitterness, and a bit of booze. Once warm I get a nice caramel aroma with some alcohol. I think it stands up well. Not too carbed, a bit syrupy, and great flavor.

This looked nice and syrupy coming out of the bottle. Very dark, brown highlights. Thin head. Nice, typical IS aroma of dark chocolate, dark roasted malt and light coffee. Palate is dark fruit, is oily, then I get the more typical coffee and then heavy chocolate malt. Alcohol is totally masked. Body is a bit on the light side, but overall this is a very nice beer.
