Dark, rich color. Good stout flavor that’s abundant in chocolate and coffee tones. I was pleasantly surprised with this substantial brew.

Poured from bottle. Stout-dark with cocoa and coffee in the aroma. Flavor brings in the cocoa, nut, toffee and hops in a creamy base. Alcohol is well masked. I put it aside and let it warm a bit, which mellowed it just as it needed to be. Gave a real, nice finish. Quite a nice beer.

Opaque black body with a mid sized light brown head. Aroma has slight notes of roasted coffee, rasins and caramel. Bitter roast with a subtle tartness. Some light coffee, and plum notes. Finish is dry and toasty.

Bottle. As far as Imperial stouts go, its probably a bit below average, or perhaps, just average. This was quite sweet, with dark raisiny fruit characters. Some more caramel sweetness, with some roastyness in the finish. A little one dimensional.

On draft - Stogies and Stouts at Dunedin Brewery 02/08/07. Poured black with quarter inch creamy (not really Guinness nitro creamy) tan head. The aroma is light and a tad fruity with some roasted malts just making it to my nose. The flavor is smooth with notes of chocolate, caramel, a little black patent and some light Barleywine like fruitiness. Wow, this beer is really smooth, almost velvety. I also sense hints of alcohol that blend nicely with the rest of the flavors.

Pours a brownish black, not opaqe. Head is huge, frothy, and unattractive. Taste is overly sweet, chocolate. Didn’t think too much of this one. Just too sweet and thin complexity for me.

12 oz bottle via trade (thanks to whoever sent this). Pours a dark brown/almost black with an average size very dense tan head. Nose is roasty and chocolate. THis is very sweet for an Imp Stout. Tastes more like a sweet stout. Molasses, vanilla, caramel, roasted malts....no hops detected. Moderate carbonation. Medium body. It is very tasty and goes down smooth and easy. Just doesn’t taste like an Imp Stout...
