Oct 1, 2009 A dark brown beer with a small head. The aroma was chocolatey, & fruity. The taste is the same as the aroma with a real thin body. I do not think it is an Imp. Stout but I guess the 8.6% ABV makes it one. It lacks any roasted flavor, & had a lot of sediment. This beer did not look good in the glass & just seemed like it was overall a mess. I usually like all Lagunitas limited releases but this one downright sucked.

Sep 28, 2009 22oz twist-off bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown, brown head. Aroma of milk chocolate and a hint of spicy pepper. Flavor is a very creamy cocoa and a bit of black pepper in the throat. Nice roasted grain flavor. Very balanced. A very nice sipping beer due to the complexity of flavors. Roast, dark cocoa, and spicy finish. Slightly higher in alcohol adds to the pleasant character of this beer. Not the best (ImpyStout), still remarkably original, much like Zappa. Finishes with a bit of fruity yeast esters and much more chocolate. lots of chocolate in this beer.

Sep 24, 2009 Bottle. The label is terrible! Was there a competition at the local Junior high school to design this thing? Pours a thick dark brown with a dense dark brown head and coarse yeasty sediment. Sweet burnt sugar and chocolate aroma with some subtle fruity nuances. The flavours area match to the nose, and the palate is full-bodied and almost syrupy. Not a lot of roast character, and none of the supposed peppercorn character for me. Not bad, but I was surprised to see this classified as an impy (I guess the ABV pushes it into this category).

Sep 21, 2009 Syrup, burnt and spicy. This isn’t normal at all. You can almost eat it with a fork. Chocolate and alcohol dominate the smell. This is a weird brew. Clings to any surface it touches in your mouth. Gets better, but the first sip is crazy. Still, not that good. I miss Freak Out! Bring it back!

Sep 17, 2009 22oz - Aroma is weird. Burnt chocolate malts and a touch of spice. Flavor is chocolate with a peppery finish. Palate is creamy buy thin for an imperial stout. Not so good.
