May 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 7, 2008Pours completely opaque with hardly any head. So many flavors and variations of coffee and dark chocolate but, surprisingly, not very bitter. Flavor lingers for a long time.

Apr 30, 2008 BOM. Pour dark black with little if no head. Smell is very potent. Flavor is very complex and lingers on the tough. I’m not a big fan of stouts. This is decent but not something I would drink or buy on a regular basis. However, I do appricate the fine craftsmenship that has gone into this brew.

Apr 29, 2008 Black in color......opaque. Creamy head, though it fades pretty fast. Strong roasted malt aroma. Sweet taste up front, with subtle vanilla notes. Very creamy mouthfeel......roasted malt back.

Apr 29, 2008 Beer of the Month Club Selection: Poured from a chilled bottled into a pint glass. Pour produced an opaque dark-brown ebony body with a nearly diminishing light brown head of foam. Aroma is an inviting dark roasted malt with the familiar smells of coffee or chocolate. Mildly sweet, with a slight bitterness at the end, this stout is full-bodied without being overbearing. I liked the roast on this stout as well. Sometimes a stout can go overboard on the roasting, and it lands up tasting like burnt coffee. This Steelhead has it right, however, and I will look for this again. A fine selection from my BOMC.

Apr 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours with a black color and a medium sized head. Aromas of malts, coffee and chocolate, flavors of coffee wih some hoppiness mixed in. Medium bodied, not too chewy, a solid stout

Apr 25, 2008 Pour is a super dark black with a small tan head. Aroma is a very nice dark chocolate and roasted malt with some coffee in there. Flavor is about the same with the coffee coming over the top with some more chocolate and nuts. As close to an Impy stout as you can get w/o calling it so. I guess the alcohol is to low to call it that.
