Pwn3d (1036), Manhattan, New York, USA May 22, 2009 2008 on nitro @ rattle n hum. Pours thick and black. Strong flavor of roasted malts, burnt charcoal, and smoke. Mouthfeel is aggressive but smooth. Not the best, but very good. curly (548), Nashville, Tennessee, USA May 21, 2009 Updated: Sep 1, 2009Pours black with a thick oily looking brown head. Aroma is roast choc., oak, vanilla, dark fruit, and nut. Taste is bitter with roast, but is also sweet and creamy with a milk chocolate malt presence. Excellent. TheBigSmooth (8), California, USA does not count May 21, 2009 This beer has flavor for days. I had to take my time with this mama jama!! It is thick son!! I am talking thick like my waist line. With a ten percent alcohol content; the bottle will put a hurting on you.
It’s delicious but its intense taste and the fact that it feels like you went nuts at the all you can eat buffet when you are done with the bottle make this a pick for special occasions….like days that end with Y!!
shotgunn (32), Boise, Idaho, USA May 21, 2009 Pours black w/a nice amber/brown head that laces the glass. To the nose you smell dark roasted malts and it really livens up as it warms to room temp. The first taste is coffee and its a really dark roast. Also get some notes of maybe dark chocolate and burnt caramel? Overall this is an awesome stout that I will buy again. Enjoy. DerWeg (748), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 17, 2009 What a stout - very full and rich with an intense black-malt character that is not ashy or smokey. Flavors of dark fruit sweet coffee and grape. Very black with brown highlights and sticky espresso foam. The hops do balance out the sweetness of the malts. Aromas carry milky coffee, cocoa, toffee and dark fruit. Nicely put together! TampaBeer (181), Tampa, Florida, USA May 16, 2009 Aroma is pleasant, though weaker than I expected for this style. Very nice flavor. Sweet. Some silkyness, toffee, a bit of wine flavor. Long lasting aftertaste which is not unpleasant - somewhat chewy. Nice beer. vinerd (17), Orlando, Florida, USA May 16, 2009 Excellent. Dark, flavorful and generously malty. Nice alcohol bite to liven up the roasted coffee notes. A bit of complexity and body to this one with a nice balance between the malted goodness and the hop presence. Very tasty and highly recommended kempicus (350), Wellington, New Zealand May 16, 2009 On tap at the Rake. Looks good, tightly packed tan head, deep black colour. starts off winey, sweet with a kick ass bitter finish. Not a bad Impy stout but not the best i’ve had.
