YourDarkLord (1800), Urbana, Illinois, USA Apr 21, 2008 A pleasant surprise from Big Sky country. Jet black with an ample head of dark tan. Bourbon was very subtle in the nose, with traces of coffee, chocolate, dried fruit, vanilla, and soy. Nice oiliness in the mouth but too thin. Flavor was a blend of the aromas and enjoyable. Only lacked the heft of a good imperial.
Sparky27 (717), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Nov 27, 2008 750ml bottle #605/1152 courtesy of BOLTZ7555. Pours a midnight black with a 2 finger chocolate milk colored head with slick oily lacing. Nose is dark ripe fruits, chocolate and bourbon. Taste is cocoa, roasted malt, more dark fruit, oaky vanilla and some bourbon in the finish with a touch of hops at the very end. It gets pretty hot as it warms up. Medium creamy mouth feel. This is really good. Not sure why this one didn’t get any hype. Thanks Jason! BOLTZ7555 (600), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Nov 18, 2008 Updated: Nov 27, 2008Bottle 604 of 1152. Surprisingly tasty impy from Big Sky...deep mahogany just a shade under black with a tight latte colored head. Bittersweet Godiva, campfire, vanilla, and bourbon all are evident. Flavor is indicative of gourmet bourbon-filled chocolates. Roasted malt also adds a nice sweetness and complexity. Not quite as heavy as some in the class but thick enough to make your palate remember!!! Delicious!!! BeerBunker (178), Burbank, Illinois, USA Oct 27, 2008 On tap. Dark brown with a minimal tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, bourbon, and vanilla. Taste was very chocolatey with a nice roasted malt flavor underneath. Subtle bourbon in the taste with an underlying hop sweetness I had not expected. Mouthfeel was also lighter than I expected, with a nice stickiness. Very enjoyable, without being to basic. stchloe (253), Portland, Oregon, USA Oct 25, 2008 Incredibly strong stout, both ABV and sheer amount of stuff. Huge body and hoppier than other imperial stouts. grimreeser (756), Minnesota, USA Oct 25, 2008 On tap. Dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, bourbon, and roasted malt. Solid flavor, nice palate.
