Sep 4, 2008 Black colored brew. Chocolate, coffee in the aroma. Intense liquorice, coffee bitterness. Dark chocolate. A bit too much liquorice maybe.

Aug 30, 2008 12.7 oz bottle: Aroma is floral but dirty. Muddy malt characteristics meld with a syrupy chocolate note that comes across as a truffle, nice caramel notes with a undertone of day old campfire clothes, some dark raisin notes, a really roasty note finishes off the aroma. No scratch that some very light fruity hop notes coming through as well. Really nice aroma to say the least. Appearance is dark black with a minimal tan head that lingers around for a while. Taste is mouth filling. Transforming with every sip. Wonderful roasted malt, chocolate, liqour, and caramel. A very nice Impy stout. I like this alot!! Cheers!!

Aug 25, 2008 My birthday beer... well, I’ve had a few birthday beers already - but this is the one I’ve been saving for the occasion. bottle from peabody’s in boone. Just noticed it has a date of 8/14/11 on the cork -- so didn’t really let this one age I guess. pours black with a medium brown head. aroma of alcohol, coffee, ginger and prunes. first thought on taste is: thick palate and long coffee/alcohol burn. other thoughts: butter, roasty, molasses, chocolate, black cherries, malts. kinda has a wine vibe to it. it’s definitely an experience. good one to sip, analyze and enjoy.

Aug 24, 2008 Pour a dark, if thin, brown color with some ruby highlights and a short tan to brown in color head. Minimal flecks of lace. The aroma was hops, coffee, light chocolate and some vinous notes. The flavor was roasted coffee, faint pine hops, faint chocolate and some vinous hints. On the dry side, avoids the cloying sweetness. The mouthfeel was thin to medium in body and the finish was abrupt. Decent.
