Oct 10, 2008 22 oz bottle. Very black pour with a slow rising head that dissipates into swispy swirls. Big chocolate and roasty nose. Flavor complex. Notes of vanilla, milk chocolate, roasted malts, rum, and yes, even maple syrup. Full bodied and a creamy mouthfeel. Alcohol is somewhat detectable. This one will age well.

Oct 7, 2008 Almost black. Moderate head. Huge aroma that comes to you rather than having to lift the glass. Chocolate and chocolate and coffee. The closer you get to the glass the more the chocolate increases along with some charcoal-type notes. Flavour is chocolate and sweet. Body is smooth and thick. As you drink alcohol climbs over the chocolate. Big on alcohol and chocolate. A little thin on depth for style. Good.

Oct 7, 2008 My bottle (22oz) shared with GregClow, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of kevin. Pours a very dark brown, pretty much black, with a small diminishing tan head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, some vanilla, chocolate, coffee and light hops. Flavour follows the aroma: Roasted malt, coffee, a hint of chocolate and light hops. Some smoky notes in there too. Alcohol well hidden. Medium bodied. Very good stuff.

Oct 3, 2008 12 oz bottled 10-24-07. Opaque dark brown pour and clear light tea brown around the edges and a thin ring of cream tan head. Sweet raisin aroma, rum soaked fruit, the slightest hint of alcohol. There is NO alcohol present in the flavor, which makes this a deceptively drinkable stout.

Oct 3, 2008 2008-10-02. Back body with a modest tan head. Malty aroma, hints of smoke over roasty malt. (6+) Similar flavour, lightly smoky earthy edge, light bitter tang, core malt base. (6+) Medium bodied palate is a touch under carbonated for my liking. Meh. Decent but unexciting. Bottle Shared by Blankboy

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle @ The Rake, London.
Pours almost black with a small rim of creamy beige foam on top. Aroma is roasted, quite vinious, some raisins. Super oily mouthfeel, low carbonation. Pleasant vinious flavour, softly roasted, light fruitiness. A long, bitter aftertaste with a good hops presence.

Sep 29, 2008 Dark Cola-like color. very small quarter of an inch tan head. Aroma has roasty malts and chocomocha like hints. Bubbly on the palate, has a syrupy like taste with roasty malt undertones.

Sep 29, 2008 Pours an opaque near black colour with ruby edges and white flocculant at the bottom of the glass. The head is thin and mocha coloured with good retention and no lacing. The nose is rich with chocolate, roasted malt, caramelized sugars, coffee and vanilla notes. The flavour puts a lot of emphasis on citric hop bitterness and black pennant malt. It finishes bitter, heavily roasted, boozy and a bit under-supported in body. It is sharp and thin on the palate for an Impy stout and finishes dry. It’s a pretty average impy that hides the 10.4% pretty well considering how thin the body is.
