22 ounce bottle that poured a dark black color with a tan frothy head. Aromas of roasted coffee, roasted malt, dark chocolate, and some cream. Flavors are the same as the aroma, they blended nicely and was a real good stout overall, I wish I had more.

2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
9/05/2009: Grumpy Troll Imperial Stout... Aroma: Roasted coffee and cream; dark chocolate. Appearance: Near black in color, opaque; dense, frothy, tan-colored head and decent lacing. Flavor: Seems burnt; some semi-sweet chocolately; sourish; dusty like cocoa powder. Palate: Medium-bodied; feels thin on the palate. Overall: More like bigger brown although the hefty alcohol is well-hidden; somewhat lacking overall for an Imperial Stout though...
Draught (ABV 11% / 55 IBUs) at The Grumpy Troll Brew Pub in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. Rating #1 for this beer.

On tap at the brewpub 7/31/09, listed as Imperial Stout (11% abv): Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and chocolate with a hint of tart cherries and smoke. Starts with good fullness and rich dark chocolate with some tart fruity notes before a slightly warming earthy sweet tart finish with some lingering roasty coffee character. Would be better without the tartness.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at the brewery, although it was just called Imperial Stout. Pitch black. Lots of dark bitter chocolate aromas. More dark chocolate and some coffee and just a hint of alcohol in the end.
