3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(tap at Stub’s) Pours black with a light tan head that leaves a ring around the goblet. Aroma of soy sauce, smoke, beef jerky, dark fruits like prunes, some raisin, roasted malt and chocolate. Alcohol shows through as well and the soy is pretty strong. Taste is full of smoke, alcohol, soy sauce, roasted malt, coffee, and some raisin in the mid. Leaves a char taste at times, but the sweet raisin in the mid saves it from being atrocious. Mouthfeel is very weak and thin, not chewy in the slightest and the alcohol shines through as well. Lingering smoke and beef jerky continue on the finish. Meh, don’t let the ratings fool you.

Dark pour from the tap at Stouts Pub. Nice mouthfeel, a little sweet. Roasted malts and caramel linger with just a bit of alcohol. Nice!

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A sweet imperial stout with hints of bananas, rust, and Vicks NyQuil. Not bad viscosity (modeled after NyQuil?) at serving temperature.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Black as ink with small brown head. Sweet chocolate malt aroma. Taste = roasted malts, chocolate, caramel and coffee. A touch of alcohol on the finish. Very full flavor and body. A little cloying but overall a solid stout.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A pleasant and tasty beer. good thick body and masks the alcohol well. I advise finding it.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Growler to glass. Aroma with heavy notes of chocolate and coffee. Nice roasty malts as well. Dark black pour with small tan head. Oily mouthfeel with a nice heavy body. Not too overpowering. Pretty solid beer.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap @ The Sample Room. Black color with a thin head. Light molasses aroma. Moderate grainy flavor with a bit of roasted malt. A bit of fruitiness after warming.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From notes. Tap. Deep brown color with an off white head. Sweet aroma. Some roasted malt, chocolate, and anise. Sweet dark fruit flavor fades to milk chocolate and raisins. Some coffee taste, too. Pretty light bodied for an imperial stout. Not quite up to par with many other available imperial stouts. It’s just too sweet, and light bodied to compete.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Dark black pour, almost no carbonation and a slightly roasty aroma. Flavor is dark chocolate, black cherries and a little syrupy on the finish (booze was barely noticeable, but I could feel it afterwards.) Not a bad brew, but I probably wouldn’t pay $6 for another glass of it again.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours an opaque chocolate brown with no head. Aroma is light- not picking up much. Roasted malts. Flavor is chocolate matls with earthy notes. Body is creamy with light carbonation.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A decent first attempt. Roasted grain in the aroma, with alcohol. A few flavors common to imperial stouts, moderately roasted grain, some chocolate, and a little soy sauce. Oily texture on the tongue, and the alcohol presence is clear in the aroma and the flavor. Palate is a little thin compared to the better examples.
