Sep 20, 2009 It poured a thick and pitch black liquid. It had a strong spicey scent of chocolate, soy sauce, coffey and bread. It tasted just as it smelled, a very nice beer.

Sep 18, 2009 Updated: Oct 7, 2009~ ***Limited Spring 2009 Release*** Purchased this 22 oz bomber from Big Z Beverage in Huntington, NY. This fine specimen pours motor oil black with a creamy brown head. Immediately, smells of chocolate, dark fruits, and roasted coffee, like magic, seem to appear out of nowhere. Really, does it get any better than this? I don’t think so. Wow! What a mouthfeel! The flavor of roasted malts and chocolate hit you like there’s no tomorrow. You know your drinking something special when all the flavors are able to mask the 10.5% ABV like it’s not even there!
For a beer that’s relatively inexpensive, and is always available, I wonder why I seek out other stout’s? Do I see myself looking for something better, something to put this over-the-top? The fact of the matter is, I’m looking for something that just so happens to be right in front of my face. Highly recommended! ~

does not count  Sep 18, 2009 Dark as night, and almost thick as oil. I Love it! Tastes of chocolate, coffee, malt, and other greatness. Big beer that I will definitely keep around in my back stock

Sep 17, 2009 Pours dark and rich with a creamy coco color 1/2" head.1st thought would be flavors of malt, coffee, and dark chacolate. Flavor diminishing quickly leaving a sweet remembrace on the palate. Over all one of the best beers i ever had.

Sep 15, 2009 Pours like crude oil. Thick, opaque, heavy.
Nose is very dark chocolatey with some nougat sweetness, almost like whoppers candy. But still, very dark cocoa/chocolateness that dominates.
On the palate is one of the most chocolatey beers I’ve ever had. Whereas Youngs Double Chocolate is close to Hershey’s Milk Chocolate, the Stone Imperial Stout is close to a bar of Godiva Dark Chocolate. Wow. Huge.
Maltiness is amazing. A pleasant roasted taste is there too, some hops in the balance, but I’m mesmerized by the chocolate.
Finish goes on for quite some time. The chocolate just lingers. My wife swears that I have a stash of choclate somewhere because of the chocolatiness on my breath!

Sep 14, 2009 Big oil black with a small brownish head. Aromas of sweet chocolate and roast coffee. Big, bold, sweet without being heavy, dangerously easy drinking RIS.
Great aftertaste. What more can I say. It’s perfect.
