| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Feb 5, 2007 Rate beer rating # 2,900. 12oz bottle acquired in multiple trades. This one was labeled BB 10/06. Poured as black as the eyes of a Norristown Hooker (I got inspired by today’s Pet Peeve thread - and yes, I drank the whole 12oz myself!). Not completely dark as there was some brown edges and an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, coffee grounds, and caramel. Tastes of roast, dark fruits, chocolates, caramel, coffee, and vanilla. Nice creamy body and very easy to drink. DrD (61), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 2, 2007 A favorite sessionable stout (two pints makes for nice fall eve). No notes dominate in this brew--though certainly more on the bitter side. There is a slight metallic/mineralish afternote--though I find this neither good nor bad.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 25, 2007 12 oz bottle: Aroma of big malts, dark chocolate, fresh ground coffee, and caramel. Appearance is pitch black with a small tan head that didn’t stay long at all. Flavor is a wonderfully malt texture, coffee again, chocolate, and a bit of alcohol stinging. Overall, It’s a darn good Impy Stout. I’m glad I have more and that I can cellar these beauties. Cheers!! bitbucket (2036), Kirkland, Washington, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jan 21, 2007 12-oz., courtesy the kind hospitality of BitBucket. Pours deep black with a scant and diminishing off-white head. Big sweet nose--tons of chocolate. Super bold attack; sweet and roasty and thickly velvety. Enormous, complex coffee and chocolate mid-palate. Big roasty bitter finish. This is definitely the good stuff. Capa (993), Yokosuka, Japan

Aroma of rosted malts, coffee, alcohol, burnt/smoked malt, and hops. Mouth is a little thin for an imperial stout. Flavor is very good. Roasted/burnt malts, coffee, chocolate, and some hops. the finish is a little bitter and has a nice alcohol warmth. This is a very good I.S. verymerrymonk (257), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
