Commercial Description:
Our John By Imperial Stout is so deep brown in colour you might as well say it is black. This ale’s powerful malt flavour is not overwhelmed by its alcohol content. Just the thing to ward off the cold of a Canadian winter.

341ml stubby from MrManning - thanks Len, but you must have screwed up... this beer is AWESOME! A far cry from Steelback, buddy! Black with a beige head. Amazing spiderweb lacing. Rich roasted malt nose, coffee and bitter chocolate. Bold dark chocolate flavor, a bit of coffee, SO roasty! A nice underlying fruitiness is behind all that, with a hit of tobacco. Thick bodied, oily smooth. This is excellent. Thanks again, Len!

Bottle courtesy of Radiomgb. Pours a deep brownish black with a creamy burnt brown head. Wonderful aroma of chocolate, roasted barley, malt, coffee. This smells REALLY good. Nice creamy mouthfeel with flavors of burnt coffee, malt, roasted barley and maple syrup entice the tongue. This is a very nice imperial stout, I’m impressed.

Bottle, courtesy blankboy. Pours a deep, dark brown, practically black, with a big creamy light-caramel colored head. Lots of sticky lacing on the glass. Aroma is smoky, with rich chocolate, caramel, molasses, roasted malts and coffee. Big roasted coffee flavors that delights the tongue. Chocolate...caramel...maple syrup. Rich, full body. Smooth watery finish. Immensely drinkable and delicious. The one imperial stout you could drink all day. Fantastic.

Black with ruby high lights with a tan head. Aroma has dark fruit, medium body. Not too bad, but it seems to be missing something in the flavor.

12oz pill bottle from Puzzl, shared with my girlfriend Cyn. 6.7% makes me dubious of the imperialness of this beer, but we shall see. This beer certainly has the look, but the question is does it have everything else. Pours black with a 1 finger light brown head. Nose is sweet and woody with strong notes of caramel and coffee. Taste is chocolately and full of coffee beans and a bit of fruit a tasty imperial stout, but could use a bit more umph for me, I like hopdog’s stance imperial stout light, because thats what it feels like to me.

Black with short lasting espresso tan head. Aroma is dark roasted coffee bean and chocolate. Intense bitter dark roasted coffee bean taste, like biting into a dark chocolate covered coffee bean, wow.
