Great flvor in this one. Not too bitter, not too watery. Just right. Pours jet black with a thin head mocha colored head. Mmmm, aroma of sweet chocolates, caramels, and roasted barley. I just love this beer, my favorite from Lagunitas and very under-rated here. The taste is what really hooked me here. It is so crisp, refreshing, yet bold, smokey, rich, and dark at the same time. A great summertime stout.

Oct 6, 2008 22oz bottle pours a dark brown with a beige frothy head that stays around. Simple nose, chocolate malt with a touch of molasses, fruit, and alcohol. Watery chocolate flavors with that molasses, coffee, nuts, and light alcohol. Pretty underwhelming. Watery in body and flavors. Nothing special that’s hard to even compare to most imperial stouts.

Oct 2, 2008 This stout isn’t the azz kikr that Bells Imperial is but it is far more drinkable. I suggest you try it with chocolate chip cookies just like B.I. and then make up your mind.

Sep 18, 2008 22oz bottle- Pours a black body with a small tan ring for a head. Aroma of cholate, toffee, roasted malt, caramel, and some smoke. Taste of the same with a nice dry finish and some with a little something on the back end. This medium to full bodied brew is pretty well balanced but a little light for an Imperial but still another quite tasty brew form Lagunitas.

Sep 10, 2008 22oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a clear deep brown with a small beige head that disappeared. A very light bodied Imperial Stout with some nutty, chocolate and coffee aromas. Finish was pretty this and not very complex.

Sep 7, 2008 Pours a thick dark brown with a light brown head.... lots of complex flavours, kind of nutty... pretty good! Could use more hops though...
