Pours dark brown/near black with a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of mild roast, pepper, anise, dark vanilla, and chocolate. Tastes of dark chocolate, roasted amlts, plum, rye and rum. Full to heavy bodied with lush carbonation. Yum.

Bottle received via trade with dchmela. Pours hazy dark brown with a large, frothy, light brown head, mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, chocolate, nutty), light hops (herbs), average yeast (dough, leather, earth) with notes of prune, date, apple, and brown sugar. Full bodied, creamy texture, lively carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.

Bottle from Wine & Cheese Place in (near) St. Louis, MO. Dark brown color (not quite opaque) with a humongous multi-finger tan head. Aroma is rather smoky, like a scotch ale. Near medium body with chewy carbonation. Flavor is smoky malt. There are some fruit notes - not dark fruit. More like light stone fruits and ripe tropicals. It’s quite spicy. Interesting. More of a smoky strong ale than a stout. Thins into the finish and leaves with faint sweetness. No doubt that it’s from Belgium.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with red highlights, big cotton candy like whit ehead. Plenty of lacing on the glass. Very spicy nose, dark fruit, some slight smoke, very subdued overall. Spicy chocolate flavors, some dry yeast, malty, full of banana and some tropical fruits. And...some soap. Lovely. How in God’s name is this an imperial stout? Interesting. Tasty, but hard to enjoy because the oddity of it.

Muddy brown color with a tan head. Flavor is very fruity with just a hint of chocolate. Boozy finish. Not a stout at all by any stretch.

Bottle at chris_o’s punch you in the face tasting. Alround rating: Typically belgian, sweet and yeasty with a roasted note thats not over powering but just feels out of place, but its too yeasty and estery to start with.

Belgian Imperial Stout. Tap Capital Ale House Innsbrook 08/31/2008. Slightly smoky with chocolate, roast, rum soaked fruits, and molasses. Cloudy, almost black with small white head. Smoky, spicy Belgian character with pronounced hop bitterness. Light body with light mouthfeel. Spicy finish with a load of residual grain astringency and bitterness.
