Bottle 65 cl. Opaque dark brown with a dense light brown head. Mashy aroma, nuts and roasted malt. Quite full-bodied with very sweet burned caramel accents, nuts and wood. Very alcoholic finish without much bitterness. More candy water that Imperial stout. 110709

Interesting. If YooHoo made beers it would probably taste like this. Cocoa everywhere. Nose, mouth, finish, but really smooth. Tasty. Didn’t get the peppercorns, but that’s ok since I’m not after a steak marinade here.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma was chocolate, light caramel, toasted malts and some subtle coffee. Flavor was roasted malts, molasses, chocolate, caramel, a touch of coffee and a bit of pepper with a medium to full body and has a dry roasty finish. Decent stout

This was a gift. Thinnest stout I’ve had in a while (especially since I had the Goose Island Bourbon County quite recently). Pours a dark brown with a perfect, tan head. Extremely malty, delicious aroma. Here’s where it gets interesting. As coyotehunter reviewed before me, it definitely seems more like a Barley Wine in character. It has a slight malt character, but it has an oddly sweet, light finish. Very refreshing actually, and quite delicious. I’ll be looking for more bottles of this. Edit: Big pieces of sediment towards the end of the bottle, but that never bothers me.

Not very big for an imperial stout. Fairly thin and drinkable beer. notes of roast malt and coffee. Not much pepper for a pepper stout.

Imperial stout you say? Bullshit. Nicely aged Barleywine, youre on to something. Pours a dark brown with not much head.Nose is of chocolate,molasses, brown sugar, and burnt malt. Flavor is much of the same, and as an Imperial stout it sucks....but like I said, as a barleymine its dynamite.

Thin beige head over a dark brown beer. Moleasses, brown sugar sweetness and alcohol in the nose. This is a pretty straight forward stout with some dark brown sugar and burnt caramel notes.
