Creamy black body with a long lasting black head. Chocolate notes complemented by toast and sweet malt and the right amoung of hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy, finishes slightly dry. An amazing imperial stout!

Black body under beige head. Licorice, dark sweets, burnt toffee and malt on the nose. Taste starts with dark ripe fruits, sweet burnt surgars, tar, finished with spices and a light roast malt. Thick palate, more fizzy than creamy. Very good balance, wow im a happy man right now. He could murder my Anastasia any day!

Black pour, large coffee-brown head, simmering down to a film and a respectable lace. Aroma is very chocolaty, ash also present. In the mouth, the chocolate and smoke finish is preceding by a highly fruity first impression, peaches dominate, some citrus, a little melon. Only flaw is a certain dis-harmony between the fruits and the dust on the finish. Full bodied, mildly effervescent. Delicious beer.

Bottle from Total Beverage, solid black body, brown head but head retention and lacing was not good, light to medium body, had a weaker flavor than anticipated, on a good note this beer was very drinkable, overall decent brew but it was a let down.

Bottle from robert at stateline. On tap as well from stateline....Its about black as black can get. Good toffee colored head that faded away. Aroma of coffee and roasted malts. Taste is coffee, lots of roasted malt, dark chocolate and maybe even some dark fruits. Texture is rich, not thick though. Almost oat like. Overall a good beer. Price wise I dont think there is a better impy out there.... Thanks Robert!

Pours black with 2 finger brown head. Nice lacing. Tastes of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and toasted sugar, with some hints of raisin/dates and dried cherries. Sweet and malty, minor alcohol flavor but not overpowering. A complex and quite enjoyable brew.
