Jul 3, 2008 Pours a thick, oily black with a moderate tan head with decent retention and lacing. Complex aroma with notes of chocolate, dark cherries and hops. Flavor is also interesting with coffee and chocolate malts. The oak flavor is much more subtle than I would have expected but noticeable. Full mouthfeel with a dry finish. A great example.

Jul 3, 2008 75cl bottle courtesy of markwise. Aged one year. Pours a very dark brown to black with a thick and foamy tan head that lingers and provides lacing. Aroma is coffee, oak, chocolate, toffee, vanilla. Flavor is much the same with coffee, chocolate, vanilla, maple syrup, and strong oak notes. Slight coffee bitterness on the lingering finish.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. Nice thick black pour with a medium brown head that seems like it will be here for a while. Intense roasty coffee aroma with some chocolate notes and some very noticeable hops. Wonderful bitterness that coats the mouth leaving the taste buds excited for a long time. I’ll definitely buy this in the future.

Jun 26, 2008 Updated: Feb 24, 2009black pour with tan head. Woody, chocolate aroma with some sweet, grassy hops. Intense flavor, hops up front, subtle chocolate and a touch or bourbon. very rich and smooth, although the alcohol is still present. very robust, woody aftertones, sticks int he back of the mouth. Surpassed everything I was expecting.

Jun 24, 2008 Pours pitch black with nice brown head which dissipates to the rim. Nose of vanilla, oak, bourbon, and roasted chocolate malt. Flavor is sweet roasted dark chocolate malt, oaked bourbon definitely there also, touch of hops in the finish...TASTY! Not as heavy mouthfeel as I would have thought by looking at it. Definitely one of the best bourbon stouts out there...rivals Goose Island Bourbon County.

Jun 24, 2008 bottle. Pours a dark, thick, heavy black. BLACK. finger-size dark brown head rears up and clears quick. Must be camera-shy. Layer of lacing sticks around though- like tracks in the woods. Smells are heavy on the woody, oak end, with some cocoa, bourbon, and generally boozy smells. Flavor is big, full, and thick. Lots of oak and vanilla, some boozy chocolate, burnt toast, and some floral hops finish things out. Not as thick on the palate as one would expect, but well balanced. Improves greatly as it warms. Great brew.

Jun 22, 2008 Pours dark, dark syrupy black with a thick, caramel head. Huge aromas of raisin, oak, and vanilla ice cream with a hint of hop bouquet. Tastes up front of molasses and iced coffee followed by toast and finishing with a citrus hop flourish. Malt sweetness balanced by roasted malts and bittering hops. Big, velvety body. Clean finish. Definitely the best Imp Stout I’ve had.
