| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 7, 2007 For the style The beer is sweet and the sweetness lingers. The palatte is also quite nice, a little too astringenttones The head is avery nice red brown over the darkclear beer. Carbonation is good but not overpowering. It has no noticeabl;e hop finish like Stormking, just a sweetness that lingers. One nice feature is the alcohol never surfaces though the beer is 8% SHIG (2023), Aviano, Italy

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2007 Very dark pour with brown head. Big roasted coffee nose.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 26, 2007 12oz. Pretty typical pour for the style. Mostly espresso and alcohol in the nose. Mostly roasted malt in the mouth, especially as it warmed. Some welcome sweet malt and awesome carbonation make this extremely drinkable for the style, especially on the colder side. Lacking only in complexity. PhillyHomeBrew (176), Forest Hills, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 21, 2007 Dark blackish brown body with a dark tan head. Very little toasted malt scent with a tiny bit of citrus and hops. Flavor is a very nice mix of chocolate and coffee- nice an roasted. TheBeerOrg (1567), Kentucky, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 21, 2007 Pours pitch black, thick and viscous with a fully receding mocha head. Aroma of coffee and foamy roast. Taste is mild roast, light smoke, chocolate, and hints of vinous qualities. Mouthfeel is heavy bodied with a light alcohol note and soft carbonation. A well done, solid ImpyStout. My only complaint is that it’s almost too easy to drink. An enjoyable beer, but perhaps not one to contemplate.
