grimreeser (795), Minnesota, USA Sep 15, 2008 Pours a dark dark brown with a large dark tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, some roastiness. Nice flavor, some bitterness. TeamTrappist (362), jericho, New York, USA Sep 14, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured as black as could be, thick, like motor oil thick. Nose was huge, coffee, vanilla, chocolate. Taste that followed was similar. This beer is the real deal stout, delicious and so drinkable. Top notch beer HonkeyBra (1258), Lemont, Illinois, USA Sep 12, 2008 Updated: Feb 3, 2009Pours a deep black. Aroma of chocolate and strong coffee. Taste is dominated by coffee at first, then finishes a bit sour. Pretty awesome Imp Stout. drfabulous (1211), Columbia, Missouri, USA Sep 12, 2008 Very rich and dark. Lots of chocolate. Tart/sour taste follows like a good Duck Rabbit. Lots of coffee indeed. Not intense roasty coffee flavor....but almost like coffee grounds. Very nice. Lives up to the reputation. nbutler11 (727), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Sep 11, 2008 Pours like motor oil from the bottle with a trim tan head of foam. Perhaps I was the only person expecting the flavor of Peach, but the aroma quickly corrects any misunderstanding regarding what this beer is about: COFFEE. Reminds me very much of Founder’s Kentucky Breakfast, yet this brew finishes with a tart flavor similar to sucking on a peach pit. gameface23 (131), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA Sep 10, 2008 The perfect imperial stout and possibly even the perfect beer. A deep, menacing pour with a khaki colored head. Nose of espresso and secondary hints of cafe mocha made with dark chocolate - like sitting next to coffee being roasted. Flavor is what you would expect, given the aroma. Great mouthfeel. Perfectly balanced with intermingled sweetness and bitterness that slide gracefully between each other during different parts of the sip. BOLTZ7555 (1053), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Sep 10, 2008 Chocolate shake consistency with a 1/2 inch latte head. The aroma is of dark roasted coffee, charred malt, and a hint of cocoa. Flavor definitely exhibits a "burnt" or "heavily smoked" character. If you left this one in the glass overnight, it would definitely form a solid mass. A very good stout...excellent coffee-focused beer...but can’t hold a candle to the best. mtjoseph (36), Murderapolis, Minnesota, USA Sep 9, 2008 Bottle. Jet black pour with a very small frothy head. Aroma FULL of Dark, dark chocolate and heavy, rich, black coffee. Upon tasting I was absolutely delighted that a "stout brewed with coffee" finally delivered! Thick and delicious! Think of oily, cold-press coffee, that isn’t cut with water. There’s just not some coffee hidden in the background, this beer has coffee featured at the forefront, they way it should be. Very happy and impressed. It lived up to the hype, and is one of the best coffee beers I have every had.
