From the bottle this pours pitch black with a thin tan head. Very nice blend of roasty coffee and chocolate with lots of acidity in the finish and a thinner body. The acidity emphasized the fruitiness in the finish and finished with a bit of saltiness and smoke.

Very dark colour. Very meaty aroma with chocolate hints. Beef jerky & chocolate body with a toasty note. Moderate intensity and thickness for style. A good starter impy.

Tar black, oily with a thick brown head. This has the beef jerky meaty aroma, with some soy, salt, coffee and burnt wood. Flavour lives upto the aroma, with a meaty flavour, caramel and some wood. Tasty.

22 oz bottle. Pitch black beer, oily texture with a thick dark-brown head. Big sweet malt aroma, beef jerky, succulent, salty licorice aroma. Flavour of salted meat, caramel, a bit of oak, light smoke, herbs and a long roasty finish. A good imperial stout.

22 oz bottle: pours pitch black with a creamy brown head. the aroma is of coffee, chocolate, raisin/plum and molasses. the aroma is the best part. the flavor is too burnt, sour and acidic in my opinion to be an impy. is it possible i got a bad batch? the flavos is slightly smokey with a dry finish. not a bif fan of this beer at all.

This is a bit of a disappointment for an imperial stout. The appearance is really quite nice with a pitch black body under a dense, if smallish, brown head. The aroma is pretty good too, with coffee, black chocolate and a grape or plum fruitiness. The flavor is where this one falls apart. The flavor is thin and salty with a slightly tart finish that is disappointing after the rest of the aspects. Finishes with a smokey, charred malt finish.

on tap at hales. not in the top echelon of imperial stouts but i guess it’s okay. chocolatey and slightly jammy aroma, quite sweet, hint of plum, would like to see a touch of sourness

Bottle Pours about as black as it gets witha lively, short lived foamy red-brown head. In fact, in about a ninute, the head is gone. And I mean GONE. No lacing. Even after a swirll. Aroma is wonderfull. Sweet, chocolately, and there is that Purple Grape jelly again. Some whiskey barrel notes as well. Flavors are a smokey sour fairly dry taste. Not much else. A bit boring and simple actually. Why cant these taste as good as they smell. A big tease. Not bad after all just a bit of a let down. Finish is slightly chalky, carbonation is a bit lively. A smokey, not too bitter aftertaste. I’ll be trading away the others I have probly.
