Apr 21, 2008 12oz via trade, from ? shared with my gf cyn. Pours black with a nice big light brown head. Nose is sweet rich and smokey with hints of tobacco and burnt malt. Taste is sweet and malty and nicely balanced. Its a pretty tasty beer. Wondering how my old bottle of the barrel aged version is doing.

Apr 20, 2008 2006 Bottling. Pours a thick, dense milky brown head of very fine bubbles. Nice rich chocolate aroma with some roasted grains, sweet malts and a bit of toffee. Color is essentially black with a little reddish brown around the edges. Sweet and smooth and oh so easy drinking. Lots of roasted grains, a bit of coffee, some molasses and a bit of smoke. A hint of tartness. Creamy and smooth in the mouth with a lingering roasted grains and mild coffee flavor. Mild alcohol presence than you feel more than taste. A damn good impy. Surprisingly easy drinking for a beer this big.

Apr 15, 2008 12oz bottle from mgermani, thanks!!
Thick, oily, jet black pour. aroma is lots of roasted malt, smoke, and a touch of hops. Flavour is quite malty, and very roasty, with some dark fruits in the end. the finish is quite bitter. a nice stout, not as impperial as i’m used to, seems to be lacking that big impy kick, and its a tad wattery for an imperial stout. but all in all a quality stout.

Apr 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours black with a medium sized creamy tan head. The aroma was big roasted malts, lighter coffee, dark chocolate, and ripe dark fruits. The flavor was again big on the roasted malts and dark bitter chocolate. Some fruit and black coffee also come through. The finish is more of a general bitterness which is slightly distracting. Medium to full bodied. Decent.
