grandridge (222), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA Aug 8, 2008 Had a blind side by side with Siberian night impy stout and I’ll say that these are both highly rated impys but they are way different. This impy won the competition just because I like the massive flavor it brings. Aroma: storm king was more roasted and malty whereas the Siberian Night was very very sweet as far as impys go. I love the roasted aroma in an impy stout so I’m kind of biased there. Pours Black nothing out of the ordinary here for an impy. Mouthfeel is nice, this is actually what did it for me. This beer is big, nicely carbonated and nice bitterness from the hops that blends in with the nice roasted malt finish. It just stands up and beats down the siberian night with it’s massive flavor (not to say I didn’t like the Siberian) This is a meaty full beer that keeps you wanting more. dogfish120love (250), west hartford, Connecticut, USA Aug 6, 2008 delicious imperial stout with an obvios malty presence. beautiful sweet aroma. joebudzjoe (222), Connecticut, USA Aug 6, 2008 Tap @ Monster B’s in Stamford; Sweet malt aroma and flavor with a pitch black body. Surprisingly alcohol taste is hidden despite the ABV. Very warming; perfect for the winter, but not too abrasive for a summer night. Naka (524), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 3, 2008 Pours very black with a foamy frothy medium tan-colored head. A little bit of lacing. The head on this poured about 2 1/2 fingers. Aroma of molasses, coffee, and some sour raspberry notes. A dark burnt bitter chocolate flavor. Extremely dark roasted coffee, caramel, and a touch of raisins. A rich creamy body with a light, but full-bodied carbonation. It leaves a very bitter flavor like black coffee with a negative amount of sugar in it. T2Tool (352), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Aug 2, 2008 Poured from the bottle a dark black with a brown thick head. Immediate aroma of roasted smokey grains, coffee, caramel and chocolate. A think mouthfeel with the taste just like the aroma. Snojerk321 (1914), San Diego, California, USA Aug 2, 2008 Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of malt, actually fruity. Tastes of hops, roasty, coffee , slightly bitter. Rich, smooth and flavorful. Very nice stout
mmmbeer (737), Austin, Texas, USA Aug 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle poured into tumbler- poured unchanged motor oil for a year black, tan whisps for a head, some lacing, medium carbonation that doesn’t get out of control. Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, and hops. Hits the mouth with a wide and full body, malt is nicely roasted, hard black coffee comes in the middle and just sits on the tongue, finish has lingering coffee malt that won’t go away intertwined with hops that hide the alcohol. Balanced overall and a good wake up brew. I don’t plan on kicking it out of the fridge! tomthompson89 (1456), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 29, 2008 Very good stout, Black color with nice thick beige head. Nose is coffee, Choc and some dried fruits. Flavor profile is roasted dark malts, Choc , alcohol and again some coffee more like espresso, some hops on the finish, what a fantastic stout!!!
