On tap @ Radio Maria. Dark brown with syrup consistency and very creamy head. Roasted aroma, bitter chocolate, a just a little smoke. This beer tasted fantastic; mixture of sweet and bitter, smooth and hoppy. Lots of character with the chocolate, coffee, sweet malt, some toffee, and more than I can describe. Great beer on tap and satisfied my Russian heritage.

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.

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.

Served on draught in a 12-oz snifter. Poured pitch black in color, with a thick coffee-colored head. Tasted roasted bitterness with a coffee and bitter chocolate-like aftertaste. An amazing beer!

Black as midnight with a nice foamy goldenrod colored head. Smell is of malts, coffee, roastiness, and chocolate. Taste of dark fruits, coffee, and roastiness. Pretty easy to drink. Hearty good beer.
