Dec 3, 2006 2003 Vintage (thanks, Springslicker!). Black, thin beige head. Sweet, fruity aroma - rasin and prune, plus cherry. Sme fruity notes in the flavor, as well, mixed with coffee and dark chocolate, and smooth cognac flavor, too. Well made and extremely smooth. Dryish finish.

Nov 28, 2006 Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. Malty aroma of chocolate, caramel, molasses, moderate smoke, and a hint of roasted grain. Pours a dark garnet with a quite a bit of transparency and a minimal tan head. The flavor starts with chocolate and some light roasted malts. There is a light smokiness in the background. Finishes with some light coffee. The mouthfeel is rather thin with minimal carbonation. This is more like a porter than an Imperial Stout. A decent beer, but this falls short in my expectations for an Imperial Stout.

Nov 24, 2006 33 CL OZ bottle via oh6gdx . Pours a dark brown/almost black with a small tan head. Nose is mild with some chocolate, fruity esters (plum & raisin) and perhaps some lactose. Taste is very roasty and mostly roasted chocolate, a little vanilla, a bit of butterscotch and coffee. A little salty. Thin/medium body. Moderate carbonation. Somewhat dry finish. Very nice. I wish i had a few more of these!

Nov 21, 2006 I’m a Nils Oscar fan, but this Impie doesn’t push all the buttons for me. Looks great with a dark mahogany body under an attractive cinammon coloured head.
Smells of liquorice, salt and tar, with strong bitter choclate and a puff of smoke. Not a lot of sweetness, but plenty of dry bitterness in the middle and end. A little thin, with the alcohol heat too up front for me. Good but not great.

Nov 18, 2006 Dark beer with a thin brown head that left lots of lacing. Brown sugar and coffee nose. Molassess, licorice, roast coffee bean, with an almost celery leaf finish. Nice, easy drinking Impy stout. Thanks to my secret santa for the bottle.
