Sep 26, 2009 Lovely pitch black pour, big roasty Impy with a lot of kick. Big tar nose on it.A lot going on and not dominated by coffee as I was expecting. A very good example of the style.

Sep 26, 2009 Pours a nearly black brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is very much of roasty coffee with some vanilla in there. Flavor is mostly dark rich coffee, roasty burnt notes, with some chocolate, vanilla, and brown sugar. Full bodied, a bit sticky, and too rich for me to drink in large quantity. One of the more complex tasting stouts I’ve had, and quite delicious. As with other stouts from Southern Tier, it is exceptional for pouring over ice cream.

Sep 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours a brownish black with no head. Aroma is roasted malts and coffee. Notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and a little bit of floral hops come out. On the palate, it is chewy and thick. THe flavor is coffee, but it pulls out a little of the dark chocolate as well in the finish. A grerat beer. I was pretty impressed.

Sep 18, 2009 Pours an opaque black with a thick, tan, creamy head that dissapates rather quickly. The body is huge, creamy and the flavor is extremely complex. Oily, roasty, bitter, malty with big time coffee throughout. Although Jamaican Blue Mountain is overrated as far as coffees go, it is still tasty and it really adds to this stout. This is one fantastic stout.

Sep 18, 2009 Bottle and draft. Very dark thick pour with an off white head. Aroma is very rich, creamy coffee and espresso, almost dark chocolate like. Lots of sweetness like a latte. Flavor is so big. The creamiest riches smoothest coffee. Some alcohol but hidden really well. Like coffee cake and frosting.
