Jun 11, 2008 This was a good but not overwhelming IPS with a lot of chocolate malts and generous amonts of roasted barley with a nice but not to big sweet finish and some hints of hops and vanilla not bad and very drinkable.CHEERS!

May 27, 2008 Black with a tan head. Buttered popcorn, roast, and lactose sweetness as well. Buttered popcorn shows up in the taste as well; roasty finish, lactose. There’s a good beer in here, but the diacetyl is really distracting and takes a lot away from this beer. High carbonation and less than medium body. I’d like to try next years batch to see if there was just a problem with this bottling/bottle.

May 22, 2008 Thanks sliffy: This has just about the right amount of alcohol for a drinkable IS. Aroma of burnt chocolate malts, and scalded chocolate milk, with an alluring sweetness. Very dark pour, with thin tan head of small bubbles. Extreme malt on the palate but rounded out with a good balance of hop bitterness. Bittersweet and delicious.

Apr 23, 2008 Very complex intense aroma of toffee, chocolate syrup, woody, leafy, bark. Trace of smoke and fig and even a bit musty smell to it. Black opaque pour, viscous, with a thick brown head, and good lacing. Tastes of espresso, bitter bark, currants, and high quality hops. Espresso and walnut finish. Frothy mouthfeel, fantastic complexity and balance. No trace of alcohol. Pairs well with strong meats and cheeses. Hops really shine through when warm. Amazing brew!

Apr 3, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of acrdz. Thanks, Mike! Pours a very dark, chocolate brown color; dark tan head with solid retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Some tart citrus and bitter chocolate and green coffee in the aroma; tart, bittersweet baker’s chocolate. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: tart bittersweet chocolate and coffee; pasty, bittersweet malt core with some citrus; uninspiring imperial stout. Lengthy finish, showing bittersweet chocolate and citrus and cocoa.

Apr 3, 2008 22oz bottle. Heavy roast and chocolate on first sniff and sip, but then the plastic and burnt oil starts to appear... sugared motor oil and greenish roast is about all I get from this one, and that sounds really terrible but it’s not really that bad. It’s a middle of the road heavy stout that’s thinner than most imperials but certainly has the roast and a little smoke, it’s just nothing great.

Apr 2, 2008 Pours dark brown with a nice carmel head. Aroma is brown sugar with roast malt. Flavor is a bit bitter with some bitter chocolate and mild smoke. Finish is deep in the rear of the palate and is quite sticky. One of my favorite impy stout.
