Bottle (22 oz.) Unleashed at cellar temperature and Heresy let loose a lively head that was several fingers high. Aromas were fairly weak for an Imp. Stout... chocolate is dominant and there is a hint of peat, smoke and bourbon. Flavor holds all of the above with a lovely silky mouthfeel and a touch of vanilla to help smooth things out. Additionlly, the alcohol is not distracting but noticeable as it warms a bit.

does not count  Jul 28, 2008 Pours extremely dark. Very smooth flavor with a hint of almost vanilla over top of the very "roasty" espresso bean flavor. An incredible stout that I will absolutely hunt down again.

Jul 27, 2008 pours black as night with large tan head. aroma is roasted with oak coffee, and toffee. really night flavor, burnt toffee on the back of the tongue, bitter chocolate, esspresso, with a great depth. very rich and full bodied. Imperial stout at its best with some age and great character.

Jul 14, 2008 Bomber courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours an opaque black with huge 3 finger tan head. Nose is mild oaky bourbon, roasted malt and alcohol. Taste is vanilla, coffee, oak, a touch of booze and a bitter chocolate/hoppy finish. Medium, semi-creamy mouth feel. I enjoyed this one – good IS. Thanks Golly G!

Jul 10, 2008 Black with small beige head. Aroma of strong smoky oat/vanilla component backed by chocolate, roast, and faintly sweet fruits. I like the nose! Flavor is odd and a little watery; it’s composed mainly of sweet malts, dark chocolate, and what is probably the bourbon. IThe palate seems a little weak. Overall though, this is a quality beer.
