Dec 13, 2006 22 oz bottle, via dhlesq. Pours a clear black colored body under a very fizzy espresso like brown head that ran to the edges quickly. Quite a bit of active carbonation. Aroma is roasty and chocolaty with some coffee, caramel, alcohol, light lactose, smoke, and a little chalk. The flavor is roast, caramel, and licorice dominated up front, fading to a finish featuring alcohol, chalk, and caramel. This almost leans toward a Baltic Porter with all the caramel. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a slick oily texture. The carbonation is fairly soft and fine, which surprised me because of how fizzy the head was. This was alright, but not an especially good Imperial Stout. I need a drier roastier flavor.

Sep 13, 2006 Bomber from Bevmo; nose of coffee, cocoa, and a hint of smokiness; Opaque ebony with no real head, a few tan bubbles on the glass sides. Flavor is a cobination of nice hop bitterness, coffee, and chocolate, with the hops lasting into the finish.

Sep 5, 2006 Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. Aroma of black coffee, roasted grain, vanilla, and light chocolate. Pours a dark brown with no transparency and a small tan head. Quick chocolate and vanilla up front is quickly overtaken by roasted coffee. Roastiness then fades leaving more of a black coffee finish. A little thin for an Imperial Stout.

Jun 7, 2006 22oz. bomber. Black color with a small tan head. Mild lactic sourness to the aroma along with darkly roasted malts, coffee and dark fruits. Flavor begins mildly tart, with lots of roasted malts and coffee, ending with a lightly bitter hop finish. This beer was more like a big version of a dry stout instead of an Impy, but it was very good nonetheless.
