Nov 1, 2009 Dark ruby-brown pour with a light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, sweetness. Flavor is smooth- almost creamy.Nice roasted malt.nice lacing. I am becoming a bigger fan of Lagunitas each time I sample something new.

Oct 31, 2009 From a bomber- vintage unknown. Pours a ruby hue dark brown with a fizzy mocha head. Nose- light roast, some molasses and anise. Taste- stewed fruits followed by a chocolate powder dryness. Lacking depth, rather thin body. Minimal roast flavour. High carbonation for the style. Drinkability is decent given the relative simplicity of the brew.

Oct 17, 2009 Bottle. Black pour with a medium tan head and less lacing than most impy stouts. Toast, coffee, and soy sauce on the nose. Pretty thin on the palate. Prune juice, chocolate, and an unpleasant sour component. S’ok but I expect more from this brewer.

Oct 13, 2009 As the numbers go, I just love this style and this example doesn’t disappoint. Aroma affords a hint of chocolatey/fruity sweetness. Not much head or retention. Flavor is like many an IS that I’ve had; this one has some woody character that I’ve found in other ISes. Finishes full and crisp, a bit woody.

Oct 3, 2009 bomber from total wine in norfolk. pours a very dark brown with a thin, tan head and solid lacing. aroma is pretty nice with roasted malts, milk chocolate, toffee, dark fruits, and soy. flavor is very good with big, bitter, dark chocolate notes, roasted malts, molasses, mild coffee, and dried figs with a roasted, malty finish. palate is full bodied and nicely drinkable with high carbonation and a big, warming alcohol presence after the swallow. overall, a solid imperial stout especially for $3.99 a bomber.

Sep 19, 2009 I am not even sure where I got this beer or how I got it. Maybe someone sent it to me? Regardless, this one was not stellar. Black color, tan head. Smell was roasted and malty, little bit of chocolate and coffee as well. Taste was watered down and thin. No alcohol noticed, but thats about the only high point to this one. Not something I will try to buy, very low on flavor as far as imperial stouts are concerned.
