Pours deep brown/black with a medium mocha head. Aroma of dark fruits, molasses, and caramel. Flavor has some heavy roast, dark chocolate, and winey dark fruitt. Mouthfeel is medium and slightly creamy with a roasty, dry finish.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle/12oz - Pours a very dark black/brown in color with a small creamy tan head that produced some really nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is heavy with dark roasted malts along with a bit of both chocolate and coffee. Flavor is also quite strong with the dark malts... a bit too much of the black patent IMO... and the coffee is stronger than the aroma. Lingering bitterness that, I’m sure, is a combo of the hops and the astringency of the darkly roasted malts. Good, but not great Impy...

Serving: 12 oz. bottle from State Line Liquors. It pours almost pitch black witha thick, creamy head of dark tan foam. The nose is lots of roasted malt, coffee, and mocha . The flavor has lots of coffee and roasted bitterness. There is a nice creamy mocha note in there too. Pretty rich body but not cloying. Fairly lengthy coffee and roasted malt finish. A surprisingly good offering from Saranac. Definitely worth trying.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a dark dark brown, thin light tan head. Thick fudge nose, with some caramel & nuts...flavors have some sharp roasted malts with equally sharp bittering hops, bitter chocolate, slight black marker, some alcohol..fairly full bodied and fairly bitter too. Not too shabby actually though I think the malt flavors are hard to grasp with that level of bitterness in the way.

Pours black from bottle with a thin khaki head. The aroma smells of furniture polish and burned malt. Thinner mouthfeel then I was expecting. Fair amount of alcohol on the tongue. Finish has a tad of bitterness which adds something to the beer. Pretty damn appalling!
