Jul 5, 2008 Tap. Black with a tiny brown head. Coffee and caramel malt nose with a little alcohol and hops. Starts out a nice bittersweet with a long aftertaste. Thinner than what I expected though and the alcohol is noticeable as well. A very good beer but could be made better if they try.

Jun 29, 2008 Updated: Jan 26, 2009Pours a deep dark brown, thin beige head which collects at the rim. Aroma of licorice, dark fruit/prunes, black coffee. Sweet dark fruits up front, then dark chocolate and espresso in the finish blending with the bitterness of the hops. Creamy texture, thinner than most imperial stouts, bitterness lasts forever.

Jun 29, 2008 The opaque black appearance and thin (though resilient) head didn’t do much to distinguish this beer off the bat. Aroma of molasses, dried fruit, roasted malt, alcohol and a touch of smoke hinted at better things, Dried fruit and some coffee up front, but more sweet than bitter. Finished dry and roasty.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottled sample via (and consumed with) oakbluff. Jet black in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of black roasty malts, dark chocolate, mild coffee, and a touch of fruit. Flavors are of powdered milk chocolate, light molasses, vanilla, and a bit of caramel. On the palate, things start out medium sweet, but the roasted malts dry things out quite nicely. A bit of a lightweight in the Imperial Stout category, but still pretty good.

Jun 26, 2008 Pours a nice black color with a nice medium brown head. Aroma is of a lot of chocolate a little coffee and some whiskey. Flavor is very smooth dark chocolate, slight coffee and a small alcohol tinge in the swallow. Good but not great.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle from StFun, thanks Josh I havent had an impy in a while so... Black in color, no head. Aroma of malts and small amount of hops. Taste is malty. No flavors really stand out... But it does leave a bitter after taste in the mouth. Touch of chocolate, roasted malt. Medium texture. Nothing special but still a decent beer. Thanks josh

Jun 23, 2008 I’d tried this in bars a few times whilst traveling and really liked it. 12oz bottle delivered from K’s mom - from Marino’s in toledo. pours dark black with a quick fading tan head and a little lacing. nice light aroma with the usual suspects: dark chocolate, coffee, malt, caramel. also smell olives. taste is charred mix of sweet malt and chocolate with some whiskey, vanilla and fig action. not as thick as some, but creamy and very drinkable. great stuff.
