| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 30, 2008 bottle poured into a snifter has a dark cola color bordering on black and a thin foamy brown head. aroma has roasted coffee, chocolate malt, molasses, light toffee, and a bit of campfire. mouth feel is at a medium and the carbonation is surprisingly high. flavor is heavy on the malted side with chocolate, coffee roast, and caramel. hops do creep in giving some bitterness but are crushed by the malt side. burnt coffee and molasses sweetness hang on throughout finishing with malt and bitterness along with a creeping sweetness. really quite thin for an imperial but the flavors are pretty good here. rocbyter (921), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA

Moderate malt bitterness in the beginning fading to a sweet alcohol burn. Leaves a coffee after taste. Lightly creamy. BeerBaron617 (306), Novi, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Jul 26, 2008 I just had this the other night, poured it into my trusty beer glass, and buckled in! This is my first brew from clipper city, and I am very impressed. Huge coffee, and also some caramel notes on the nose, with a flavor to match, but with the classic malt back. I will definitly be getting more from this brewer. scotch4281 (39), Hollywood, Florida, USA
