9/29/07 On draught at the Issaquah brewhouse. Aroma is sweet malt forward with moderate roastiness and no hop character. Appearance is very dark brown with a low off white head. Flavor is heavy sweet roast and some black patent forward. There’s a small bit of chocolate and no hop character. Mouthfeel is full bodied with a moderate carb texture. Overall, not bad, but I’d hardly call this an imperial from a taste standpoint.
