| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 27, 2008 A typical and boring imperial stout. Aroma was very nice. Strong notes of chocolate fill the nose. Pour was a flat thick black with no head or bubbles. Taste was thick and chewy chocolate with a just a medium alcohol burn. Bitter chocolate malt with a creaminess. No carbonation which really hurts this beer. This is like 95% of all the impys out there. Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA

Bottle. Pours very dark brown, with a thin tan head, good lacing. Smells of coffee grounds and toffee, just a hint of molasses. Velvety smooth, medium body, somewhat thin for the style. Tastes like coffee and dark chocolate, but not too sweet. Drinkable and well balanced.
