Having it at 55 degrees brings out alot more in this beer and does it justice. jcalbi (378), New Jersey, USA

Chocolate malted colored head that quickly dissipates. Flavors of chocolate and roasted coffee with a steady bitterness. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | 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!

Maybe the most drinkable Imp Stout I’ve had, alcohol isn’t noticeable at all, slight coffee, plenty of roasted flavor, Chocolate, some dark fruit and sweetness on the finish. A great beer, could drink it everyday! A + sliffy (2012), Columbus, Ohio, USA

Aroma, slightly smoky with some roasted malts, dark fruits and chocolate. Flavor, chocolate, roasted malts, some earthy burnt bitterness. I was convinced on a slight smoky quality the whole time. Pretty damn good brew though. nolankowal (854), Columbus, Ohio, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 14, 2002 Keg conditioned 1 year (2001). Was pouring and drinking this at the philly real ale fest. Some muted flavors and aroma until it warmed up a bit. At which point great citrus zest and roasted malt in the nose and in the mouth. Starts sweet, turns creamy and milk and fisnished with a dry hop spice. Lingering rasted bitterness. The cask started to degrade after about three hours with cidery chracteristics coming into play. Wonderful until then, too easy to drink for 8.9%! dberger624 (1028), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA
