Jun 15, 2007 Huge dark chocolate in the aroma. Also roasted malts and some coffee. More of the same in the flavor, with distinct hop characteristics in the finish. The mouthfeel is big, thick and slick. Medium carbonation. Very smooth Impy without much bitter bite in the end, which I prefer. This is a really great brew.

Jun 11, 2007 12oz bottle poured into a snifter. This Imperial Stout poured a solid black with a thick tan head that slowly faded away, leaving some excellent lacing around the glass. Just a bit of light is visible through the beer. The beer has nice big chocolate aroma, with notes of lightly roasted malts and some hop undertones. The flavor has quite a bit going on. You can taste cherries, milk chocolate, hints of coffee, and a touch of alcohol. I really enjoyed the flavor of this brew. The mouthfeel is full-bodied with a healthy dose of carbonation. Just a little bit thinner than I would prefer. The thin mouthfeel and unwanted level of carbonation are my only complaints. Overall, a very well done stout.

May 27, 2007 Picked up single 12-oz bottle from Bob’s McFarland Liquors in McFarland, WI. Pours an opaque near black brew with a thick, creamy tan head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma of chocolate caramel, roasted malt, vanilla and some herbs. Taste is full body, coffee and chocolate with flowery hops and some burnt bread. Finish is slightly bitter with a dark coffee after taste.

May 22, 2007 Pours pitch black color with a tan head. Wonderful roasted malt and chocolate aromas. Roasted malts and hop dominate this brew,then the big bitter alcohol ending hits you.Hints of chocolate and vanilla in there as well.Real bitter ending.
