Jul 24, 2007 Vintage unknown. Sampled from a growler. Carbonation is soft, flavors are subtle milk chocolate, charred fruit and it has a bit of creamy mocha in the finish, but again, the flavors are pretty subtle and faint. A little pasty on the palate, alcohol easily noticed, with some vodka/potato flavors as well... which is stranga. Nice is very light and faint, with milk chocolate and cocoa scents. Looks good, though, with a brown mocha head.

Mar 13, 2005 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!

Jul 18, 2004 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.

Jun 24, 2004 Updated: Jun 25, 2004Draft... Opaque black, tan head, and some lacing. Roasty sweet, and dark fruits in the aroma. Lightly bitter, dark roasted malts, and chocolate. Alcohol backbone. Cask... Poured opaque black with a light tan head. Beautiful cascase of tan head and nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of brandy, dark fruits, roasted chocolate, pepper, and hops. Taste was full of chocolate and coffee, some tobacco, and just the slightest bit of alcohol. Very creamy mouthfeel, very nice. Lowered a bit due to last nights sample being thin and not as tasty.
