Black pour, medium beige head. Aroma is roasty, smoke and some coffee. Flavor is smokey throughout, licorice, some coffee and a big chalky aftertaste. The smoke dominates bad but also has a dry chalky taste going on, almost burnt coffee tasting with a big hop bitterness. Just to aggressive.

May 3, 2008 Pours black with short-lived bubbly brown head. Aroma of burnt malt, dark chocolate, roasted coffee. Flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, licorice, and bitter hops. Decent amount of burnt malt, but it just doesn’t quite meld as well as some other Imperials I’ve sampled. Slightly medicinal, but by no means terrible.

Apr 21, 2008 Bottle from Julio’s Liqour in Mass. Pours with an opaque, black body topped by a brown, thick head with lots of lacing. It’s slighlty sweet and roasty as hell with bitter chocolate notes and a bitter hoppiness. Full bodied, smooth and a touch dry.
