Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, coffee and some faint hints of dark dried fruits. Flavor hits with more coffee than I would have expected and has plenty of chocolate. This is a stellar beer.

Roasted aromas of malt and coffee, blended with a lot of fresh hops, i’d say its cascade. This repeats itself in the palate, which unlike many imps is not sweet and cloying but just right and jam packed with flavour. DTM (541), Winters, California, USA
