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.

Pours a real dark brown with a decent sized dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate, hops, alcohol. Flavor is more sweet than bitter, a little thin.

Not really sure what to make of this one. Fairly weak for a stout, and not really sure why it’s ranked in the 95 percentile. Pours watery, with a frothy brown lacing. Flavor is slightly boozy, with a mix of chocolate, malt, and hops. This one just didn’t stand out to me, but luckily I have a second bottle so I can give it another shot.

12 oz bottle, 8%. Ebony with a crema head that leaves a ring. Nose is mocha, brown sugar and grass. Medium body with a tang; some building resin. Taste is dark chocolate French roast beans mingled with pink grapefruit, pine and lime. A nicely hopped Impy.

Pour was dark with a medium tan head. Aroma was of malt and bitterness. Flavor was of dark roasted malt, dark fruit, and a lot of bitter hops. Good brew. Liked a lot. Would buy again.

The latte colored head on this beer just never goes away. It’s kind of like that guest that occupies your spare bedroom, eats all of your food and drinks all of your beer. Milk chocolate, dark bitter chocolate, and roasted coffee both in the aroma and flavor. Thick and dark but not viscous. Good beer.
