Flavor was bitter chocolate, alcohol, malt and bitter hops. Flavor grew sweeter as it warmed. Once it warmed, flavors became more distinguishable. However, this imperial lacks boldness in character in the form of that would come from aging the fruits and spices more. All in all this was enjoyable and I would drink it again.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 21, 2007 Pours dark brown with a healthy amount of carbonation and a rapidly dissipating brown head. Smells of bourbon, oak, sherry, cherries, dark malt and pepper. Tastes boozy with some tartness. As the beer warms, flavors of chocolate, spices and tealike hops emerge. Some mocha and bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel is tarte and full. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of wood,caramel and vanilla with some smoke and chocolate in the background. Taste is a mix of oak barrel, vanilla some coffee and a hints of hops. Finish is smooth and a little bitter. An awesome imperial stout. doublebock (196), USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Feb 14, 2007 Black velvety look with mild head, malty alcoholic nose aroma, bubbly palate, can occasionally taste the oak barrels but would have preferred more, leave a hoppy feel on the sides of the tongue LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 14, 2007 Not a very impressive Impy. I have mixed feelings on oak aging. If it overpowers the taste its bad. This is bad. The oak is too overpowering and pushes the other tastes back. There are some roasted malt and chocolate notes as well as some vanilla, but the oakness won’t let them shine. crushinat0r (227), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Pours pitch black. The foam head is a real dark tan. The smell and everything else is really good. The flavor is smooth. The drinkability is awesome. Just finished the first cup, and adjusted the drinkability to 4.5. :banned:
