12oz bottle via skyview (thanks!). Pours a near black with some ruby accent on the edges. Nose is chocolate, coffee, licorice. Tastes like it smells with a lot of roasty coffee character, some soy, and some floral and woody hops in the finish. Body is medium, carbonation moderate. The best Lake Louie beer i have yet had..wow, and i see it is 12%abv?? I had no idea..hidden well..i would have thought 8% max...

black with ruby edges, thin fine brown head that swirles easily and produces a bit of wet lace, sweet malt aroma with notes of vanilla and roasted, very creamy velvet body, black roasted flavor, low bitterness, no sign of alcohol, the low aroma and soft flavor combine with the smooth body to create a great session imperial stout which at 12% will kick your ass

12 oz bottle, via iowaherkeye. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, body under a foamy brown head that left alot of intricate lacing. The aroma is very roasty with some dark bakers chocolate and coffee. Some licorice, chalk, light smoke, and light alcohol. Flavor is quite roasty with alot of burnt notes on the finish. Some caramel, chalky yeast, light alcohol, and tar. A somewhat hoppy astringent finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with an oily texture and moderate soft carbonation. Slightly sticky and cloying on the warming finish. Overall, pretty good, but nothing that stands out from the pack.

Bottle courtesy of TheBeerCellar pours brownish-black w/ a small head that quickly dissipates. A different take on the style. A sweet finish that hides the ABV well. Good, but not great.

Bottle: Pours brown with a loose tan head. Aroma, chocolate, a little smoky, with some fruits. Flavor, chocolate, roasted malts, that smoky hint again, with some earthy/roasty bitterness, and some fruits as well. Very thin, this wasn’t much of an impy except for the alcohol I guess, which I didn’t notice. Still a tasty stout though.

Bottle shared by sliffy. Dark brown pour with a tan head. Aroma was lightly oxidised...some smoke elements, vinous notes, roasted malt and dry chocolate. Flavors of roasted malt, sweet milk chocolate, and vinous elements. Medium body...spicy/roasty with a bittersweet finish. Not bad.

Picked up the last six pack that was buried deep inside Bob’s McFarland Liquors beer cooler, in McFarland, WI. (Lucky me!) Pours an opaque dark brown brew with some redish highlights and a thick, chewy tan head. Slowly dissolves when served property at 40-44 degrees. Awesome lacing. Aroma scents detected are several. Smoked chocolate, molasses, ripe bananas, a touch of mocoa, vanilla, and some pitted fruit. Taste is smooth, creamy, a little syrupy, with a hint of wild sour cherries. Finish is thick and a sweet flowery hop with a fruity aftertaste. Very nicely done, though I know this is not 12% alcohol. Maybe a 9.8% tops.

12oz bottle from KingpinIPA. Dark as night black color. Slight aroma of chocolate and Coffee. Flavor is nice: Some smoke, coffee and roasty malts. This was good, but certainly didn’t wow me. If this is really 12%, that is impressive because I could barely tell.
