Big, almost brown head that when it settles starts to look like whipped cream. Really dark body. Chocolate and roasted malt aromas. The beer itself tastes a little bitter with a strong hops presence, but at the same time maintain a powerful bitter chocolate flavor and strong espresso elements. Strong taste. It is a powerful good beer.

Jul 7, 2008 12oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours black as night with a good size chocolaty head. Tons of chocolate, coffee, and toasted malts on the nose. A spectacular finish that was creamy and full of the Imp Stout goodness.

Jul 7, 2008 Thick, creamy looking tan head. Black as motor oil. Aroma of maple, chocolate, coffee and resiny hops. Initial sweet flavor with some acidic bite. Lively carbonation. Earthy smoky flavor with licorice. Full body and lingering finish. 9% alcohol well hidden.
