Jul 26, 2009 From a bottle poured syrupy black with a very small head. Nice toasted malt flavor with a lingering finish.

Jul 4, 2009 Bottle pours dark and ebony with a tiny beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, Columbian coffee, and dark and red fruits. Satiny body is almost full. Taste features a dark roastiness of scalded coffee and dark chocolate, accented with notes of charcoal, raisins, and ripe berries. A hint of darker fruits and red apples adds complexity. Nice stout!

Jul 2, 2009 Bottle via trade with adrian910ss. Pours a deep brown black with a large rich brown head that quickly reduces. Aromas and flavors of oak, burnt malts, tobacco, dirt, bitter coffee, and chocolate. A little oxidized. Very full body. Pretty good IRS, but I prefer their Baltic Porter.

Jun 29, 2009 12oz bottle. Black with a small tan head, light lacing. Nose was mostly bittersweet chocolate with lots of bitter notes. Flavor was mostly chocolate with some coffee and roasted malts. Your pretty run of the mill Impy Stout.

Jun 28, 2009 A thick obsidian abyss of pure unadulterated alcohol. A bot overpowering, but very complex mixture of cherries and wood. Might mellow a bit with age.

Jun 27, 2009 Molasses, fig, charcoal, and black currant nose. Black, somewhat viscous pour, completely headless. Bloody mouthfeel. Vinous blackberry, currant, and oak. Sweet and sour with absolutely no bitterness on the front end. Lasting espresso, grass, and charcoal finish. Unusual timing of transitions. Decidedly fruity for the style. Very nice.

Jun 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark and thick brown with just a little bit of tan head. There’s quite a bit of anise in the aromas, which is cool and I hope it comes out nicely in the flavor. There’s also a bit of cocoa and other roasty smells there. Flavor is nice... more dark fruit than I would have guessed from the nose and quite a bit of vanilla sweetness, too. I was hoping this would be a little more abrasive with licorice and peaty flavors... but it’s good this way, too.
