spaceycasey (10), , Texas, USA Jan 11, 2009 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! TheJollyOne (204), Kofu, Japan Jan 11, 2009 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! rwaters (27), Anchorage, Alaska, USA Jan 10, 2009 Pours black with a brown head. Chocolate/malty taste with a citrus finish. Overall a very good beer. gator2683 (133), Anchorage, Alaska, USA Jan 10, 2009 black with dark brown head, smoke and roasted chocolate malt in the aroma. its sweet and then bitter and smokey, with a cholate aftertaste noncaloric (602), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jan 9, 2009 Updated: Mar 8, 2009Black 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. beerthusiast (5), , Colorado, USA does not count Jan 8, 2009 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. GMCC2181 (846), Bear, Delaware, USA Jan 6, 2009 Updated: Nov 3, 2009Bottle 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! bradlyc77 (226), Sebastopol, California, USA Jan 5, 2009 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.
