Bottle in trade from jwale73. Thanks man!
Pour is dark black with a medium lived tan head. Smell is a strange hoppy roastiness and comes off very metallic. Not too pleasant. Taste is rich dark burnt and bitter malt. Tart and hoppy. Medium to thin body with normal carbonation. Lingering bitter and burnt flavor. Either very hoppy or just tastes off, but I’m not sure which it is. Ok, I guess.

22 oz bomber. Pours like most of the other McNeills that I have ried, all head and no body. After several pours and lots of waiting my glass of brown head eventually turned into a glass of beer with a deep solid black body and a... well I guess it started huge but then subsided to a normal amount..of creamy deep dark beige brown head. Aroma of burnt coffee, slight chocolate, earth and vanilla extract. Medium to full bodied with tight bubbly carbonation that has a very fizzy full feel. Flavor starts off with a ton of burnt coffee beans but after several sips that subsides and some bittersweet dark chocolate and rum soaked bread begin to emerge along with a touch of vanilla exract. Well not my favorite Impy Stout but probably one of my favorite McNeills brews.....that ain’t saying much though.

22 oz bottle. Mahogany with a thick and sudsy light brown head that hangs around. Nose is rich chocolate, coffee and hay. Medium body with prominent carb give this a light feel in the mouth. Taste is bitter chocolate, grapes, hints of espresso and molasses. A very good classic stout.

Bottle from 46er3498. Thanks! Pours almost black with a lasting light brown head. Aroma is that of bittersweet dark chocolate, roast, burnt malts, earth, and wood. Ashy burnt malts, chocolate, bitter earth make up the majority of the flavor profile. A moderate lasting burnt ash flavor hangs around along with a mild astringency and a little sweetness. Light bodied for the style.
