| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 10, 2007 Trade with drmatt. Pours a dark black, transparency in the pour. A little thin for what I like in the style. The head is small, a thin light brown. Nice aroma, sweet, fruit, alcohol, cherries, molasses, dark rum, coffee. The flavor features a sweet roast, sweet rum, slight alcohol, coffee. The palate is very smooth and easy to drink. Not an amazing impy, but very very nice with its own unique twist.

The aroma is chocolate, thin coffee and alcohol initially. As it opens up more chocolate comes out along with some smoke, roasted coffee beans, slight floral hops. The flavor was a nice blend of chocolate, roasty coffee, campfire, and some floral hoppiness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with a nice warming from the alcohol.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 17, 2007 pours black with a solid one finger brown head. aroma is roasted malt and hops with bitter dark chocolate and coffee. has a medium to full body with good lacing and good carbonation for a stout. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger with a little of the 9% abv. descent on the nose but potent in the flavor and on the palate. has a little bite from the carbonation and the coffee lingers a while on the tongue. a pretty good impy stout. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA

Shared with pint_sized - Black pour with a nice medium brown head in a snifter. Smell was a creamy chocolately coffee roast with almost a hint of peanut buttery creaminess...(maybe I’m just crazy) Such a nice, smooth roasty chocolate flavor, with a light but noticeable and pleasant alcohol flavor to it. A great mouthfeel and perfect carbonation level let it go down like smooth chocolate. Really a great beer, with an amazingly smooth light lingering aftertaste of fine bittersweet dark chocolate. A must try! ucusty (1881), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA
