| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 12, 2009 Finally getting around to trying the regular version. Pours black, with a thick tan head. Nice and viscous. This one’s just classic. Bittersweet chocolate and molasses on the nose, with just a touch of coffee. Flavor is right on, with a bit more roast and quite a bit of hops for an impy stout, which leaves a pretty dry finish. This is just great stuff. I’m still a much bigger fan of the oak-aged versions, but they’ve got this recipe down. evergreen0199 (259), London, Greater London, England

Coffee/chocolate aroma. Smooth, coffee, chocolate, fruity, caramel, roasty notes. Very nice indeed. weaselkenievil (738), Cheshire, England
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Bottle. Pretty much black with a dark brown head. Massive awesome chocolateness with obvious coffee and roasted malts. Smooth palate, like velvet. Truly a pleasure to drink. Some drinks seem to get you really drunk, this does that job well. And I don’t just mean the ABV, some 9.5’s can feel stronger than another 9.5. Very very good. Love a good Impy Stout, this is one. topherh (899), Kearney, Missouri, USA
