Jul 26, 2008 many bottles by way of many good folks on this site... this one is BB 8/18/8. pours pretty close to black with a creamy light tan head. rich roasty aroma with notes of chocolate, cooked cream, woody and dark dried fruits. the palate is a bit on the sweet side for me but it gives way toward the end as some acidity breaks through. the flavor is quite robust and rich... woody, cocoa, cooked cream, yeast and coffee nuttiness. light acidic finish though it never really dries out. medium to full bodied, smooth mouth feel and terribly easy to drink a lot...

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle.
Pours nearly black with a thick off-white head. Aroma of dark roasted malt, coffee and molasses with a bit of hop. Flavor of dark malts, dark fruit and coffee with a bit of smoke. Great mouthfeel. This is a great Imperial stout that hides it’s alcohol well.

Jul 16, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark black. Thin, light brown head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla. Initially sweet mouthfeel gives way to bitter coffee flavor with hints of dark fruit. Long bitter finish. What a great beer.

Jul 14, 2008 bottle. pours oily black, moderate brown head. aroma of bakers chocolate. flavor is dominated by licorice and burnt molasses flavors. the dark roasted malt give is an edge, but as far as alcohol is concerned its fairly smooth. enjoyable. i prefer them more in the dry coffee range, but its a well made beer for sure.

Jul 6, 2008 A: Cocoa, bittersweet chocolate, roasted malt blackberries and faint alcohol on the nose. A: Black pour with deep brown highlights and a quickly dissipating tan head. F: Big bittersweet chocolate, dusty coca, coffee and dark fruit with an espresso hop spicy finish. P: medium heavy body, plenty silky and smooth. O: Lovely impy stout with a fantastic balance between the bold flavors, big body and substantial hopping. Highly drinkable despite the 9% abv, Would love to see this a year round offering.

Jul 5, 2008 Didn’t realize this was an Imperial until seeing and smelling this. Very traditional look and smell. Aroma is very rich, blackberries, coffee, decadent notes. Look is very black with tan head that goes away except for a residue around the edges. The palate is equal parts ultra sweet and ultra hops with a coffee edge to it. Well balanced, not as oily as I like, drier. Nice though.
