Draft. Black with dark tan head and great lacing. Aroma of big roasted malt, chocoff, and some prunes and licorice. Tastes the same, with a smooth, dense palate that one would expect from a top notch Impy. This one is awesome!

Shared from a aged bomber at the brewery thanks to the owner. This ones a winner. Black has night. Had a nice smooth roasty flavor to it.

On tap. Poured a dark black color with an averaged sized brown head. Aroma of chocolates, light coffee and some roastiness. Light bitter aftertaste. One of the better beers I had there today.

Oily mouthfeel, lots of anise, some chocolate, subdued roastiness. Nice full body. Good appearance. Touch too much anise for me but very enjoyable. Quality stout.

Sample at the Philadelphia gathering, July 10. Nice aroma, sweet chocolate, grapes and just a hint of bitter espresso. Grapy-vinous flavors throughout; a bit thin at first for an Imperial, but seems to thicken nicely as it warms...very chocolaty, relatively simple, but does the job, as they say.

Very nice aroma of sweet malt and chocolate. Flavor was chocolatey and sweet. Roastedness was low but in this I actually liked it more for it because it let the other flavors come out. Very nice beer.

Black body with tan head. Aroma is rich, sweet, chocolate, roasty coffee. Taste is rich, sweet, chocolate, roasty (especially in finish), coffee, light vinous. Alcohol noticeable but not dominant. Full body.
