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

This by far is one of my favorite stout offerings that I’ve had the pleasure of putting down. Very roasty and pours very dark.

As Imperial Stouts go, this is among my favorites. I used to be a Stout drinker, now an IPA’er, but when in the mood for any kind of Stout, I certainly consider one of the best I’ve sampled. I had the luxury of trying this at their Brewery as well as tasting many a bottle while visiting Baltimore. While @ the Oregon Brewers Fest, I normally sample the IPA’s and Stouts, including both Imperial and Double versions. This ImpStout will compete with any other Stout out there. If you love plain Stouts, or prefer Imperial Stouts, this is definitely worth investigating. Yum, Yum, Yum! If in Baltimore, you must visit the Brewery, not too far from the Airport. Still wishing they would ship west!

Color is a rich, deep brown with a thick head. Aroma is decidedly stouty with a hint of roast coffee. The excellent, velvety stout flavor has strong hints of both coffee and chocolate; though it is strong, it is not overwhelming but pleasant and enjoyable. This thick and mouth-filling stout should please any fan of dark beers.

I love the tiny hop kick that rips through this stout. I would not place this at the top of the stout heap but you should give it to a staunch hop head and see them start to embrace the dark side.

Dark Brown color almost black. Tan head. Chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt aroma. Crisp bitter start then roasted malt, dark chocolatey tatste with coffee finish. Nicely done stout. Love the Heavy Seas!

To me this beer tasted like coffee, which I truly enjoy. I liked enjoyed this beer most of all the Heavy seas brands that I tried.

12oz pour from variety pack. Nice coffee colored head to a black/dark ruby color but not a complete blackout. Not as heavy as one would expect from an Imperial stout but that can be a good thing. Nice dry stout mouthfeel with a slightly sweet flavor. Molasses maybe?? The 8% is not apparent at all and is light for an Imperial anyway. Nice beer and definitely drinkable to where you can have 2 or 3 in a row and not be full or hammered. As it came closer to room temp, more and more flavor came out. Very nice as are most of Clipper City’s beers. Would be great with a nice piece of cherry cheescake!

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.
