Dec 27, 2008 Dark black pour with a big tan head and thick drippy lace. Roast, chocolate, and coffee on the nose. Flavor was very similar with molasses and vanilla. Alcohol was well masked. I really enjoyed this beer for free (or close to free) at WBF! Paying 11-12 dollars a bomber; i did not enjoy quite as much.

Dec 20, 2008 Great chocolate/coffee aroma. Thin on the palate. Light burnt coffee flavor with a nougatty 3 Musketeers bar aftertaste that is not pleasant or interesting enough to save it.

Dec 19, 2008 22oz bottle pours deep black with a light brown head that fades quickly. Medium coffee aroma but slightly like crushed cigarettes. A bit of bitterness in the initial taste with a little sweetness and some chocolate. Good Imp Stout, better than many of the others that are out there.

Dec 17, 2008 Actually, I was underwhelmed. Not as thick as I though it would be, and lacked much mocha flav. Had this sort of dry bitterness to the finish that was not great after a while.

Dec 15, 2008 Dark with a tan head, this one has some strong roast in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel which is a little lacking for an Imperial Stout. Taste is also overly roasted without a lot of sweet or chocolate flavor.

Pours deep black with brownish head.
Aroma of coffee beans - mocha, malts
Taste is filled with light coffee mocha with a very sweet and thick mouthfeel. Beer has a very subtle creamy feel that reminds me of lactose. Has plenty of roastiness at first followed by savory coffee bean notes. Alcohol remains very well hidden, even at 9.5abv. Finish is lightly bitter and hoppy.

Dec 14, 2008 Bottle from the buttplug..I mean Ross. Thanks. Pours a deep coffee brown/black with a somewhat lackluster 1/4" brown head. Very nice aroma of chocolate and dark pummy fruits. Full bodied with a smooth creamy mouthfeel. Flavor chocolate and red wine, with a some expresso and muted hops in the mix. Finish really loses points, as it has too much astringency and some acrid coffee bitterness. Overall a mess for me.

Dec 11, 2008 Bomber via trade with DMRz. Pours black with a black with a light brown head. Nose is sweet and malty with some nice light coffee, mocha notes. Taste is sweet, rich, viscous and very nicely smooth. This is a very tasty rich light coffee/mocha impy.
