Bottle from Ross, and he forgot to tell me what to rate this since he expects all NC beers to get good ratings regardless of their quality. Pours a deep coffee brown with a one finger brown head. Aroma of chocolate and plums. Medium bodied with a slight creamy texture. Flavor of cocoa, bitter coffee, and dark roasted malts. Mid palate it pick up nuts and dark fruits. Finish is smooth like a Baltic Porter, but has a medicinal alcohol bite as it gets near room temp. Not bad, but not an aggressive Imperial stout. This is more like an imperial porter, but we don’t have the sub classification here- which is stupid

Pours a tan head with a dark brown body. Smells of roast, hint of smoke, very little chocolate and coffee, but there is some. Taste is the same but everything is slightly pronounced. Little thin with regard to the body. Wish it were a little bigger.

Sampled at the Impromptu Butter’s 6th cellar clearance. Very dark brown pour with wispy brown head. Nutty roasty aroma. Smooth and roasty chocolate. Some alcohol warming as I swallow. Fair Imperial stout, and much better than many a brew.

Thanks for sharing, bro! Pours a brown color with a thin bubbly head. Aroma is roasted malt, cocoa, and a hint of coffee. Taste is much the same. Very smooth and easy-drinking but nothing fabulous.

Thanks for the trade Ross. Pours a rich brown color with thin bubbly head. Aroma is of mild coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt. Taste is of mild sweet malt, light chocolate and light coffee. Finishes extremly smooth and creamy. this beer doesn’t pack a punch, and it’s not very complex, but it’s very easy drinking.

12oz bottle-pours a rich brown head and black color. Aroma is anise/cocoa-dark malt, some earthy. Taste is anise/ashy/cocoa-dark malt, roasty, chickory, secondary acidic/earthy hops. Mild carbonation. thanks to decaturstevo for picking this up.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Winston-Salem. Pours a ruby tinted brown color with a thin head. Poor head retention and weak lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, soy, smoke and subtle fruity notes. Taste is roasted malts, bitter hops, smoke, tobacco and soy with caramel and coffee in the finish. Fairly dry. Medium bodied.

Bottle. Pours out a dark black color with a tan head on it. Typical look of an imperial stout. Smell is roasted, with some chocolate and coffee, tiny bit of alcohol. Taste is somewhat thin, but because of this it makes it a bit easier to drink. Full chocolate and roasted malt kick to it too. Interesting beer, perhaps not the best, but at least it will make you piss.

A solid impy. Pours out a black color with a smaller tan head. aroma is big on coffee, roasted malt, choco, with a touch of sweetness. Flavor was very much the same as it seems most impys are, but there was a bit of bitterness in the finish. A very nice brew.

Thanks to AtlBeerDog for this one! Rich black pour with thick tan head a decent lace. Creamy mouth-feel. Chocolate, caramel, caramelized sugar, and coffee. Very solid for a style i have seemed to out grow
