Mild chocolate malt, a subtle banana note and finishes with a dry and lightly toasted malt finish. zizzybalubba (356), Elizabeth City, North Carolina, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 11, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Norfolk. Black pour with a thin tan head. Rich dark chocolate aroma at first that fades somewhat into more dark fruit and espresso. Great chocolate, coffee, smoke, and roasted malt flavor. Unfortunately it’s a bit on the thin side in my opinion. Not bad by any stretch but there are better Impy Stouts out there. BroSpud (594), , Massachusetts, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 4, 2009 12oz bottle from Trinity (Warehouse) Liquors. Pours almost black transparent with a minimal tan head. Fantastic aroma; sweet candy malts and dark fruits. Flavor is slightly burnt coffee, dark fruits, and a tad of mollasses. Thick mouthfeel, smooth, and warming on the palate. Realliy nice impy...underrated in my opinion. Cakes (44), New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Pours very dark.
Looks like used motor oil!
A significant frothy brown head.
Beefy, but not too thick.
For a stout - a rather subtle aroma - not overpowering,.
I want to call this a "refined beer".

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Sweet malty smell. Dark brownish pour. Taste is a tad sweet and crisp....not something I will drink again...not what I look for in a stout. Rustyham (556), miami, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Fanatstic aroma of cofee, dark malts, and cofee. The pour looks a lit like a nitro guinness too. Unfortunately, the palate is a lot like a nitro also. It’s thin and watery. The flaovr is subdued, also. This beer is all in the aroma. Bottle from Knightly Spirits in Orlando.
