Jun 16, 2009 Mild smoke aroma, coffee, sour smoke, lingering bitterness, sour aftertaste. Spicy. Pleasant sipping beer, the sour dimension is a welcome addition.

Jun 11, 2009 Bottle from a co-worker. Pours a very opaque black with a very large tan head. Aroma is very dark. Soy sauce could be in it. Chocolate, yes. Dark fruit, likely. Roasted malt, ? Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor has lots of darker fruit, with roasted dark malt, coffee, and likely chocolate. A lot going on here. Finishes balanced between sweet and bitter. There’s not a trace of heat. The flavors are complex. This is one to savor.

Jun 5, 2009 Pours black with a very small tan head. Aroma is soy sauce, chocolate, and dark fruits. Taste is the same plus hints of vanilla, nuts, and alcohol. Smooth and drinkable, good beer.

Jun 3, 2009 Pours pitch black with a slight tan head that lingers. The aroma is roasted with hints of chocolate, vanilla, and dark fruits. Tastes of chocolate and some subtle hops with faint alcohol and coffee flavors. The seven types of malts create an excellent flavor.

May 28, 2009 Thanks Daknole. Dark fruit and alcohol describe the aroma. Some roasted notes, too. Very dark with red visible during the pour. A small tan head does not last long. It has flavors of a complex malt variety with some nice hops underneath. Light chocolate and an alcohol warming. A very nice Impy Stout.

May 28, 2009 Jet black pour with tight foamy tan head that is slow to dissipate. Aroma is creamy roast, molasses, raisin, vanilla, and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, and roasted malt. Flavors are a tad on the sweet side for the style, though the roasty elements are still present. Palate comes of a bit short- thin for the style. Smooth and caressing, but oh so thin. Semi-dry finish. A bit disappointing, but a decent quaff just the same.
