Jun 1, 2008 Bottle from trade with fiver29. Poured dark brown with a moderate creamy light brown head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Heavy toasted chocolate, licorice and coffee malt with a small alcohol aroma. Full body with a creamy texture. Heavy balanced toasted chocolate malt flavor with a heavy bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a standout beer.

Bottle: The aroma has lots of roasted coffee, black licorice, molasses, light caramel, vanilla, and a hint of burnt wood. It pours virtually black with a small brown head. The flavor has lots of roasted coffee and black licorice. There’s also some moderate chocolate, molasses, and caramel. It finishes with some burnt notes, piney hops, and a hint of wood and vanilla. There bourbon presence in this is extremely minimal. Very nice.

Jul 17, 2008 Thanks to chef201atc for fetching this nice beer from Colorado! Pours black with a big brown head that dissipates only towards the end. Aroma of licorice, espresso, very dark chocolate, mint, and alcohol. Initial flavor is delicious fudge (which I love in a stout), dark chocolate, wood, dirt, light vanilla, and a bit of booze. Finishes with more vanilla, but it’s quickly overtaken charred wood and ash. That lingering unsweetened espresso aftertaste is a bit too ashy for me. Oh so drinkable, creamy and thick, a bit hot, and the carbonation is nice and soft. Very good beer, good flavor transitions and a lot to offer. I’ve got others I like more, but I would never say no to this.

Feb 17, 2007 Bomber. Another very dark black pour with a big brown head. Aroma seems very sweet with a roasty coffee smell that dominates...maybe a hint of chocolate, and woody cask bourbon. Sweet roasty flavor is quite good, expanding on the aroma. Full bodied...hop bitterness more pronounced late in the taste...quite enjoyable.

Jan 18, 2007 22 oz. bottle from LS - Pours a thick black color with a two finger thick tan head. Lots of lacing. The aroma runs the gambit. Coffee, light molasses, hint of vinilla, and a touch of bourbon oak. Flavor is coffee, light chocolate, and a hint of licorice. Has a smooth, but dry palate. Hop bitterness seem to stick out along with the alcohol. Will have to try another this Fall. Should be even better. An excellent beer.

Sep 11, 2007 Bottle. A black beer with a big beige head. The aroma is of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and rye bread, so is the taste. Medium body with a dry light alcoholic finish.

Mar 1, 2008 Deep deep black like the abyss it is names for. Nice tan head lasts awhile. Aroma of vanilla, oak and chocolate. Very nice as it warmed. Flavor much of the same with a great texture and chewiness. Completely coats the tongue yet is not overbearing. Really nice impy stout. I love it.

Oct 1, 2007 I didn’t have room for notes on this one - just wrote scores. It was damn good though. I would like to get my hands on some more.
