jrmac (137), USA Jun 14, 2008 Coffee nose with a bit of bitter chocolate. Pours a dark black with a thin head. pretty average as far as stouts go.
daknole (861), Plantation, Florida, USA Oct 15, 2008 Dark brownish pour, tan head. Aroma is fruity, molasses and some light chocolate notes. Flavor is very roasty, with some burnt marshmallow flavors, chocolate and dark toast. Mouthfeel is a tad thin and overall this just isn’t quite "big" enough. DrDavid (366), Johnson, Vermont, USA Oct 11, 2008 (Bottle). Aroma is sweet-sour, fruity. Reddish-black body, tan head. Flavor is roasty, fruity, some chocolate. Brief finish. peter (353), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 4, 2008 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. sonicstylee (12), cayuga, New York, USA Sep 30, 2008 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. kevd193213 (340), Coventry, Rhode Island, USA Sep 28, 2008 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).
