Mar 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a black colour with a tan head. On the nose I got soy sauce,
liquorice and chocolate. Flavour is some chocolate sweetness and also both soy sauce and liquorice - giving the beer some saltiness. Also roasted malts and some hoppy falvours. The finish is quite dry and roasted with notes of soy sauce with a nice bitterness.

Mar 10, 2008 Bottle. Aromas of chocolate and dark malt. Opaque black color with a slight tan head. Full bodied with chewy carbonation. Flavor is smooth toasted malt, with some dark fruits and enough hop to balance the sweet. Rather smooth and light for an IS, but it is more than "just a stout". Finish is clean and refreshing. Just the thing for that polar dip. A really good drink, if not the over stuffed stouts that are typically IS.

Mar 9, 2008 Dark pour, very average brew. Chocolate and slight coffee. Malts, roast, and very very light hint of beef/maet. Didnt go down smooth, but was an overall descent drink.

Mar 8, 2008 Mahogany body with 1/8th inch khaki head. I viewed this beer, inhaled deeply, put the brew to my lips and took a sip. Where did the "Imperial" in the "Stout" go??? This was a weak interpretation. Just not seeing the 97%. It was a pretty good porter. Maybe I got one that was mislabeled!!!

Mar 8, 2008 Bottle: Courtesy of renhed. Dark brown in color with no head. Chocolate and roasted malts in the nose with some dark fruit notes as well. Medium bodied, mildly dry and full of malty goodness. Dark chocolate, coffee, licorice and plums are all melded well together and compliment each other nicely.

Mar 1, 2008 Very dark body with a small soft light brown head. Nose of rich chocolate brownies and caramel. The hops were a bit strong in the finish, could mellow a bit, body was lighter then a lot of the imp. stouts around here, but this was at a much lower ABV also. Good chocolate flavors with a charred flavor towards the finish.
