Draft. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, chocolate, roasted malt, and coffee. The flavor is swet with strong notes of chocolate combined with medium notes of malt, coffee, wood, and soy sauce, as well as lighter notes of hops and citrus fruits. The alcohol tickles the palate.

From tap at the San Clemente brewpub. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Smooth roasted and malty flavoured. Acidic and hoppy base flavoured with a solid hoppy presence. Bitter and quite acidic flavoured finish. Smooth and yet with a bite.

On tap. Pours black and opaque with a creamy light brown head. Fat aroma of hard roasted malts and molasses. Very full-bodied, plenty of sweet hard roasted malts, licori´ce and dried fruit. Rather alcoholic finish with some malt bitterness. 080709

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2011 (Draught) Pours an opaque dark brown (near black) with tall tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, fudge, vanilla, and coffee. Flavor of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, hops (earthy), and toasted grains with a creamy, smooth finish. Nice Impy!

On tap at Boulder Strong Ale Fest poured a nearly opaque dark brown with a small lingering brown head. Aromas of bitter chocolate, roasted malt, coffee and dark fruit. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors ofdark chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla and coffee with a smooth dry lingering chocolate finish.

Draught at Boulder Strong Ale Festival. Pours opaque with an average, frothy, dark brown head, lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (coffee, chocolate, toffee, roasted grain), light hops (perfume), average yeast (leather) with notes of smoke, raisins, and prune. Full bodied, creamy texture, lively carbonation, and spicy-dry finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Tulip off tap at PP San Clemente. Beautiful pour with a large creamy dark brown head that clings to the glass over a pitch black body. Head lasts for the duration and leaves great lace. When swirled the body also coats the glass with a rich brownness. Aroma of vanilla, coffee beans, and awesomeness. Some hops too. Taste is lots of coffee and sweet chocolate, leather and rich with light hops. Keeps getting more and more complex as it warms with chocolate, leather and dust. It reminds me strongly of Great Divide Yeti, but I think this is better!

Ummmmm--fuck yeah. Black pour, brown head. Chocolate, fudge, raisins, port wine, molasses. Flavor is molasses heavy, rich bitter cocoa...holy shit!!!

UPDATED: MAR 31, 2009 Draft. Dense chocolate brown body, firm foamy medium brown head. Creamed chocolate cocoa and mocha nose, touch of dairy. Rich, hugely creamy, wonderfully smooth. Lingering cream note throughout, cocoa powder and coconut. Nice.
