Location: Bottle at Paul’s Blind Impy Stout Tasting, 1/5/13
Aroma: The nose is sweet and malty, has some booze and some caramel
Appearance: The beer pours an almost black color with a brown head
Flavor: Taste-wise, it is pretty much what you’d expect from the nose, sweet and a little boozy
Palate: The body is medium, with a decent feel, and a little bit of heat on the finish
Overall Impression:
There was quite a bit going on here, so that was nice. It was a touch too sweet, and though maybe not a top of style offering, this one was pretty good in my opinion.

Big and sweet, lots of roast, warming alcohol. Cocoa, chocolate, lots of sweetness into the finish. Tasty enough, but a bit too sweet.

I really liked this stout! It’s quite nice with lots of cocoa, some coffee, and I got a nice balance of dark fruits from this beer. It also has quite a nice body for this beer and doesn’t cost much!

12 oz. bottle from Discount Liquors. Pours dark brown in color with a thin beige film. The aroma is dark chocolate, dark fruits, molasses with a moderate sweetness. The flavor had more dark fruits up front with roasted malt and a splash of chocolate. A slight tartness appears. Glad this is not listed as a RIS because the body is a bit thin.

pours dark brown, tan head.
aroma, chocolate malts, dark fruits, yeasty.
flavors, bold, fizzy carbonation, found it to have a tad too much yeast and dark fruit; fig, dates. Lingering mild tartness, wondering if some infection might be in the bottle. Some chocolate bitterness, medium-high carbonation. I have another bottle that I’ll try again, something was a little off with this one.
