Commercial Description:
The beer is a dry Imperial Stout - creamy and rich with color as black as night. It has aromas of roasted coffee and dark chocolate, hints of molasses, toffee and caramel in the taste. Clipper City will produce only a small batch, so availability is extremely limited. IBU'S: 30 Malts: Crisp English Pale, Crisp Crystal, Chocolate and Roasted Barley Hops: Styrian Goldings, Fuggles Magnum and Amarillo

Dark pour with tan head. Nose is marshmallows, and roast. A little heavy handed with the black patent (looks like it was actually roasted barley) Lacks the thick mouth feel I want from an IS. Pleasant, but nothing to go out looking for.

pours dark and seemingly thick, smells hard of roasted malts and chocolate. thin light tan head. thin mouthfeel, not quite as full as most imperials, almost a hint of smokey-ness.a quality beer nonetheless.

Bottle. Black pour with a medium coffee head. Aroma of caramel and molasses. Taste of malt and chocolate with a slight hoppy finish. A little thin for an imperial, but very enjoyable (and affordable).

Pours vlack with quickly receeding tan head. Sweet aroma of dark fruits and black coffee. Watery thin body for an inmperial stout. Alot of malt carmal sweetness, not balanced and definitly not and Imperial Stout.

My only quarrel with this beer is it’s "imperial" title. More of a stout, but there’s nothing standard about this beer. Aroma bursts of roasted oatmeal and chocolate. Not thick like an imperial but very creamy, smooth and flavorful. Taste is milky chocolate and malty coffee. Very drinkable and not sure why it’s not rated higher.

Bouteille de 12 oz achetée chez RSVP (Portland, ME). Arôme: Odeur de chocolat au lait avec une pointe de petits fruits foncés. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque. Présence d’un mince col beige mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de chocolat avec une pointe de café au lait et de raisins. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Présence de chocolat en arrière goût. (Rating #1962)

Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of roasted malt, some chocolate, some lactic hints. Tastes sweet and tarte with some spicy elements and a hint of bitterness on the finish.

Bottled. Stout: sure. Imperial: not quite. Easy drinking stout but a little thin on the mouthfeel and there is a strange sourness near the end and an unplaceable bitterness in the finish. Aroma and flavour mostly coffee and molassas.
