Jan 25, 2007 12 oz bottle: Aroma of big malts, dark chocolate, fresh ground coffee, and caramel. Appearance is pitch black with a small tan head that didn’t stay long at all. Flavor is a wonderfully malt texture, coffee again, chocolate, and a bit of alcohol stinging. Overall, It’s a darn good Impy Stout. I’m glad I have more and that I can cellar these beauties. Cheers!!

Jan 21, 2007 Bomber from shigadeyo, Thanks, Craig! Pours nearly black with a fading tan head. Full, rich body with moderate carbonation. Caramel and chocolate nose. Plenty going on in the taste with coffee, chocolate, nuts, vanilla, roasty malt. Building bitter finish.

Jan 21, 2007 12-oz., courtesy the kind hospitality of BitBucket. Pours deep black with a scant and diminishing off-white head. Big sweet nose--tons of chocolate. Super bold attack; sweet and roasty and thickly velvety. Enormous, complex coffee and chocolate mid-palate. Big roasty bitter finish. This is definitely the good stuff.

Jan 16, 2007 Poures black, with a little light tan head. Aroma of rosted malts, coffee, alcohol, burnt/smoked malt, and hops. Mouth is a little thin for an imperial stout. Flavor is very good. Roasted/burnt malts, coffee, chocolate, and some hops. the finish is a little bitter and has a nice alcohol warmth. This is a very good I.S.

Jan 15, 2007 Pitch black body with a rocky brown head. Licorice, chocolate, and hops in the aroma. Very smooth mouthfeel with chocolate, moving towards bitter coffee in the end. Very good.

Jan 7, 2007 Bottle from HogTownHarry (I think...). Rating #1700. Pours a dark brown-black with a thin tan head. Aroma is very nice - dark, almost burnt malt, fresh roasted coffee beans, green hops. Body is light for an impy, but made it quite easy to drink - perhaps TOO easy! Flavour is very nice, big & balanced, with all of the expected notes in place - coffee, cocoa, roasted malt, warm hops. Nothing wacky or avant garde going on here, just a solidly made imperial that I really enjoyed.

Jan 5, 2007 This beer pours a dark coffee color with abundant carbonation and abundant tan head.
Aroma is sweet coffee and caramel, and is wonderful.
Taste is slightly sweet up front, and the finish is coffee, oakiness, and complex. It is quite good, but I didn’t feel the urge to guzzle it down because it was so delicious.
Mouthfeel is slightly sticky and pretty good. I also found this beer to be pretty drinkable. All-around quite good and easily the peer of Victory Storm King Stout.
