Oct 11, 2009 It poured a pitch black liquid with a small light brown foam that left a thin layer on the side of the glass.
It had a strong boozey smell of chocolate, wood, coffey and soy sauce.
It had a strong taste of chocolate, coffey, nuts and a hint of cognac. Felt very complex and interesting. It had a bitey, dry mouthfeel and a long lasting taste. Very nice and perfect with the chocolate my brother served.

Oct 10, 2009 Bottle. Blackish pour with a nice brown head. Coffee and Burnt Chocolate aroma. Flavor follows suit. Good balance. Aftertaste is a bit of alcohol. That is the only thing holding it back.

Oct 8, 2009 Cask at Rattle N’ Hum. Was ok on cask, nothing special. Definitely a better bere when cooler in my opinion. The warmth took away from a lot of the flavors. I’ll leave cask condition stuff for things that are not imperial stouts or porters

Oct 7, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Colour... black with a thick tan head. Nose... coffee, bittersweet chocolate, roasty malt and hops. Palate... thick and frothy with loads of black coffee, dark chocolate, roasty-toasty malt, licorice fern root and hops galore that linger on the finish for minutes on end! Why didn’t I try this sooner?!

Oct 6, 2009 Botttle, 8.7ABV.
Shy light brown head. Hop and dark grain smell. The flavour is difficult to describe but there is something very lively and good in it. Finishes hoppy and with clear taste of roasted malts. Nice one and very balanced - so far the first brew I really enjoyed from Flying Dog (looking forward to try the barrel aged version!)

Oct 5, 2009 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of toasted, molasses and dark chocolate, resin and cooked citrus for the hops, leather and earth for the yeast and background notes of prune, tar, licorice, alcohol (almost has an espresso with anisette essence to it). Head is creamy, brown, with a little lacing and it’s mostly lasting. Color is just about black. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly bittersweet and acidic. Palate is medium to full, creamy, and has a soft carbonation. This Imperial Porter has the most fitting aromas and flavors for the style, and it’s all in perfect balance.
