Jul 18, 2007 Limited Special Release. Poured a huge tan frothy head that was mostly lasting, fair amount of lacing, transparent, reddish brown hue, and visible carbonation. Nose was malty, hoppy, sweet and some nutty notes. Flavor was sweet, malty, hoppy and light chocolate flavor. Mouthfeel was mostly smooth with a slight tinglyness. Light-medium body. More hoppy tasting than I expected for this style. Worthy of a try IMO.

Jul 15, 2007 Brown ruby, with a nice off white head. Aroma is alcohol, mixed fruit, light caramel. Taste is lightly alcoholic, light toffee, some caramel, light nuttyness to it. Alcohol kinda overwhelms this beer.

Jul 15, 2007 A brown ale can’t get much better than this. Light whisky and a rye aroma. Full malt flavor, some rye and unprocessed grain. Considerable hops in the flavor as well, and alcohol on the palate.

Jul 13, 2007 22 oz. bottle - first time i’ve tried an ’imperial’ brown ale; pours a very dark and deep brown with slight head; strange aroma mix of malts, alcohol and nutty coffee; drinks dry and its strength overwhelms the sweetness

Jul 9, 2007 thanks to Skyview for sharing. Dark Amber, almost brown, pour with faint creamy light brown head. Well balanced hops and malt in the nose. Faint coffee character and chocolate. Bitter hop finish and plenty of rye grain.

Jul 5, 2007 Picked up single 22-oz bottle from Bottleworks in Seattle, WA. Pours a dark coppery-brown brew with a creamy beige head that slowly dissolves to a fine film. Aroma of caramel malt, some rye grain, and roasted nuts. Taste isfull bodied, smooth, creamy with flavors of apples, butter, and a hint of chocolate. Finish is smooth with a light lingering bitter aftertaste.

Jun 27, 2007 Some butter notes in the aroma, also some pheonls, leads to a bad smell. Taste is alright. Creamy, biting and with noticeable alcohol. just not great. Unimpressed. Cool cause though.

Jun 17, 2007 Bottle. Poured an opaque brown color. Head was light tan. Aroma was of dried cherry and malty caramel. A bit overly effervescent on the tongue. Tasted of toffee, caramel, and a hint of chocolate. Pretty good.
