Nov 1, 2007 Bomber. Poured deep reddish/brown with little head, much lighter than expected for an impy. Sweet malty aroma with chocolate and coffee. Flavor is an initial malty rush followed by creamy chocolate, and finishing with a slight espresso kick and a tingling sour tang on the palate. Very smooth. A good beer, just a little weaker than what I expect from an imperial stout.

Oct 30, 2007 Stout? Maybe more of an Imperial Red or Amber. Molasses aroma with no dominant hop nose or flavor. A heavy, viscous pour with brown sugar and ginger flavor. The maltiness dominates the 8.2% BV and the 72 IBU’s, making this a very drinkable stout.. A great beer for Autumn! 22 oz. bottle.

Oct 25, 2007 Something is very wrong here. Pours the color and viscosity of coke - I can already tell this will not be a rich and flavorful imperial stout. The flavor is poor, with a unpleasant, sticky after taste. Is this the way this beer was intended to be made??

Oct 23, 2007 First rating! Just picked one of these babies up at the grocery store here in San Anselmo, love the Lagunitas IPA, had to try it. 1 pt 6 oz bottle.
Very nice aroma, dark mahogany almost black color, taste is a bit sweet. I imagine a sweet taste is normal for the imperial stouts, and to me the 8.2 % is well hidden. I enjoyed very much, would drink again!

Oct 17, 2007 Bomber. Poured clear, medium reddish-brown (quite light for the style) with a short cap of beige head sticking around. The aroma picked up lightly-roasted sweeter chocolates, some molasses, and brown sugar.. very sweet overall and missing an enticement and intrigue factor.. quite bland. The flavor had primarily semi-sweet, lightly-roasted chocolates at the core with molassess and dried herbal sticky notes eminating outward.. sweet, lightly warm finish. Medium-bodied with decent balance and creamy carbonation.. very sweet. There really wasn’t anything bad in this one, but nothing to keep my interest either.

Oct 13, 2007 22 oz bottle: Pours a deep brown with a black core and proper mocha head. The aroma offers soft earth, coffee and chocolate notes, as well as a touch of sweet caramel. The subtle nature continues in the body with the addition of brash coffee, cocoa and nuts. Something about reminds me of a foreign stout. Not a hefty Impy, but balanced and drinkable.

Oct 13, 2007 A little weak/watery. I’ve come to expect a little more body from a stout. Overall not a bad beer.
Promising aroma. Goes down easy.

Oct 13, 2007 Pours mahogany coloured with a big frothy head. Aromas of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. A little thin on the mouthfeel and the flavour is also a little thin but very refreshing.
