Jul 22, 2007 Aroma with lots of roasted, chocolate malts, raisins and other dried fruits. Quite complex and lovely. Clear, brown-black coloured with a thin, brown, medium head. Not as slick to the glass as other imperial stouts. Taste is sweet, creamy, with a bitter background. Chocolate roasted malts, dried fruits, some caramel in it. Sticky palate. Quite full, however a bit alcoholic and sharp finish.

Jul 19, 2007 Pours a dark black colr with a small off white rim. Smells of cheap soy sauce. Mouthfeel is velvety and tastes of roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. Pretty good, this is what imp stouts are all about.

Jul 18, 2007 Brown-black body topped by a very small tan head. Typical imperial stouts flavours of roastiness, chocolate and coffee beans although the coffee is a little less present in this one. Very roasted. Some woody (dry nut?) notes as well. Limited hops presence. As usual with non-watery imperial stouts the alcohol was somewhat well hidden. Doesn’t bring anything new to this crowded genre. As far as American imperial stouts are concerned this is at best an average, if not slightly below average. Despite that it is still a very good beer. Because if there are two things that American really know how to make it’s greasy burgers and heavy imperial stouts. And it shows.

Jul 17, 2007 Regardless of the season, it’s always a good time for an Imperial Stout and this is a good one! Color was not as dark as I’ve seen poured with a nice opaque brown, but the aroma is the true introduction. A sudden rush of roast, chocolates, nuts and raisins is a nice welcome. No way this is 10.4% abv. Taste is a bitter sweet version of the aroma with a soft, warming finish. One of my new favorites.
