Schlafly Imperial Stout

Poured dark brown with a light brown head. Nose smoky with raisin notes. Flavor is smoke, raisins, malt, earth, with some bourbon notes. Finish was too dry for the style. Mouthfeel was thin.

Shared at Columbus Tasting V.Nice chocolate aroma.Pours dark brown with a light head.Flavors are of chocolate and alcohol.Thin to medium mouthfeel with a smooth finish.

On tap at St. Louis Airport. Pours a black thin color with a small tan head. Aroma of weak roasted coffee and malt. Slightly sweet with a bit of caramel flavor. Not bad but nothing special by any means. A disappointing example of an Imperial Stout.

Pour is a jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is some coffe and roasted malts. Flavor is weak. No real malts or hops are present and this is very watery. Maybe this was old? Sure not Impy like at all. The dissapointment of hop in he city 2006.

Pours a very deep black with a dark tan head that leaves quickly. Aroma is chocolate and sweet, dark-roasted malts. Falvor is tobacco, smoke, chocolate, coffee, nuttiness, and mild hop spice. Very dry.

Brought home in a growler from the Tap Room. Very dark brown; totally opaque. Thin shortlasting head. Mocha prune coffee aroma. Burnt malt bitterness balanced well with a sweet raisiny chocolate taste. This is excellent every year. Too bad it only lasts a few weeks.

Draught in St. Louis. Quickly dissipating, light tan head and a deep ruddy brown body. Aroma of chocolate and dried cherries. Earthy hops emerge in the flavor. Medium bitterness and medium-low roast plus some creamy sweetness. Medium body, but fairly full flavor. A decent imperial stout, but not exceptional.

draft at the Schlaflly Tap Room in St. Louis. dark brown, almost black in appearance with a great looking off white head. aroma of raisins and plums. flavors of dark roast malt, plums, raisins, hints of caramel. medium bodied and some hints of alcohol. a well done stout, but doesn’t quite stack up against some of the better known Imperials.
