On tap at Elliott Bay Brewpub, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of oatmeal, chocolate malts and light roasty notes – more chocolaty than anything. Flavour is moderately roasty, heavily dark chocolate-dominated, with some oats and mild espresso notes. Medium-bitter finish from the roasted malts. Full-bodied and warming at 11%. Excellent.

This review is for the 2012 Elliot Bay Pro-Am Imperial Stout. I had it on tap at the Lake City location. Pours almost black as tar with a medium tan head. Rich aroma and thick smooth palate feel. Tastes of burnt malt, molasses, dark chocolate, coffee, with a distinctly anise overtones. This is a rich, complex imperial that can hold its own with the best. Ranks up there with the very best.
