Apr 14, 2008 500mL bottle, Brewed: Apr. 07, Batch 73. Opaque black with a 1 1/2 finger staying tan head. Plenty of roasted malt, salty soy, There is a clean malty note that I don’t recognize at first since I’ve not experienced it in this scenario--it must be wheat? Dark chocolate, alcohol and raisins are also present. Flavor adds some piny hops, though the roast and dark chocolate (go figure) is dominant. Roasty dry ashy finish with bitterness peaking at a 3-4. Full creamy body with moderate soft carbonation--silky even.

Apr 5, 2008 Pours deep dark brown with initially tall mocha head. The aroma is dark roasted malts mixed with mild dusty malt astringency and a hint of vanilla. The taste is big roasted malts that bleed into more burnt malts and mild caramel soaking in a broth of smoke. Into the finish its roasty, mildly charred, burnt, coffee and sweet molasses. Comes across very thin for the style.

Apr 1, 2008 Drank this with Bartzilla, Galtscat, and a bunch of other people. Pretty good, if not a little sour at the end. The bottle says this is an Imperial Wheat Stout, which is a first for me. Decent.

Mar 31, 2008 A pretty drinkable imperial stout. Definitely has a lightened body due to the wheat, though has tons of head, mine gushed, but keeps a thin, dark wisp. Very nice beer.

Mar 27, 2008 Bottle - Pours a dark chocolate brown with a full tan head, with slight lacing. Nice malty chocolate aroma. Nice roasted chocolate flavor with hints of coffee and some hops at the finish, very complex and full of rich flavor. Awesome stout.

Mar 25, 2008 Bottle (500ml) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Batch #74. Pours black with a large lasting frothy tan head. Good lacing. Nice aroma of roasted malt & wheat, quite interesting really, along with hints of spices, dark fruit and light hops. Flavour’s roasty, slightly burnt with dark fruit, hops and some grain. Some alcohol but well hidden for the most part. Nice medium to full body, creamy mouthfeel. This is a really interesting version of an Impy Stout, I really liked it.
