Got this fairly early in the moning on DLD and I believe it was from one of the BA folk -
It poured an intensely dark brown body topped by a modest beige head. Rich roasty aroma of barley and coffee countered by a dark malty sweetness and chocolate with a light whiff of alcohol. Smoothly blended, a touch of anise is added to the flavor along with a charred hard nut bitterness that grows towards the finish. Very nice.

Sep 30, 2008 Thanks to bitbucket! Black with chocolate ice cream brown head. Big, sweet aroma of rich chocolate and dark fruits. Lots of coffee, roast and chocolate in the taste. Big bite of bitterness and plenty of dark fruit. Very enjoyable and smooth for 10%. Yum.

Sep 29, 2008 From bottle : Pours very dark black with a thin brown head that dies out real quick. Very nice aroma of coffee, roasted malts, sweetness, and a little alcohol. Flavor is heavy, coffee, chocolate big time on the finish, and roasted malts. The chocolate flavor on the end sticks in your mouth for awhile, and has an alcohol warmth. Decently thick going down, but very smooth. Pretty solid Impy Stout.

Sep 29, 2008 12oz bottle pours black in glass with tan head that dissipates fast. Aroma is coffee, caramel, and overall sweet. Carbonation is non-existant and feels oily/watery in mouth. Flavor is dark roasted coffee with hints of chocolate some dark fruit sweetness. Has an alcohol burn but finished without an alcohol aftertaste.

Sep 29, 2008 Bottle, thanks to ucusty. Black pour with nice burnt caramel colored head. Aroma is chocolate milk and some roasted malt. Flavor is sweet milk chocolate, roast, and maybe some metallic dry-hopping. Finish is strange (nutty?) and the mouthfeel is a little off. Good flavor otherwise.

Sep 28, 2008 This brew had a very strong alcohol aroma but went down smooth with nice hints of coffee and chocolate and a nice malty finish.
