May 3, 2008 A very hoppy Impy Stout! Kudos for finding a hop profile that compliments the roastiness of the malts. Pours black with tan head. Flavor is smoke, malt, hickory, unsweetened chocolate and ends on a very dry note. Amazing stuff - if you love the dry Impy stout this is your beer!

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle. Black with a creamy moderate brown head that fits like a glove. Thick oily cocoa and coffee aroma. Some alcohol in the nose but more subdued than expected. Thin soft alcohol body. Huge alcohol burn and tingle. A boozy oily pint.

Apr 27, 2008 This one is boozy all over. The smell is pine and perhaps raisins. Sweet smell and taste. Poured pitch black with and extra thick gray-brown head. Medium bodied; a bit thin for style, I think. Taste is sweet and sour, and still rather piney. Leaves a sour burnt hop taste on the palate. Very drinkable, but not quite what I expect from an Imperial stout.

Apr 26, 2008 Draft, DLD. Actually, was surprised by the way this looked. Had a really nice taste, though it looked a bit thin. Big roasty character with a nice sweetness to back it up. Very nice.

Apr 24, 2008 Boozy smell and taste. More boozy taste though. Coffee aroma too. Much better as it warms up. 11% alcohol isn’t noticeable at all. Waaaay to drinkable for 11%. Downed this sucker in no time and paid the price for it. Solid Imp stout, no doubt. Oh yeah, btw, cool menacing label.

Apr 12, 2008 Bottle. Thanks to Santa. Poured a nice deep black body with thin head. Aroma is soapy, light grassy hops. Flavor has a nice roastiness to it, light chocolate and malt, light hops. The flavor and aroma do not match at all. That’s a good thing as the aroma does not have a deep stout scent to it and the body has a nice thick roasty stout flavor. There is not too much complexity going on here. What is going on is a nice thick roasty imperial stout. Very quaffable, light alcohol feel and a nice roasty chocolate body.
