Commercial Description:
Chocolate truffles, cocoa, espresso coffee, burnt currants, the sweetness of a sherry - all come to mind when enjoying an Imperial Stout. A rich porter of English origin brewed to withstand the long voyage from London to Czarist Russia. The classic "Winter Warmer". Big, Strong, Malty Stout.

Requisite black appearance with a medium size, mocha colored head and a lot of lacing. Roasted malt aroma layered with dark fruit, chocolate and coffee. Smooth, rich, caramel malt taste complimented by flavors of semisweet chocolate, roasted coffee, blackberries and molassas. A certain vinous (more dessert wine than table wine) quality as well. Moderate hoppiness and spot on carbonation prevent it from becoming too syrupy. Alcohol is noticable but not numbing. Overall, very enjpyable.

22oz bottle. This one poured initially all head (and I mean all head). Eventually settled to a dark brown color. Aromas of roast, chocolate, some coffee, and had a light vanilla touch to it. Tastes of roast, dark chocolate, coffee, and light caramel. Alcohol content well hidden.

Draft @ brewey. Deep brown almost black in color. Burnt roastiness in the aroma. Flavor of dark chocolate bitterness, coffeelike. Starts dry but has a subtle sweetness in the finish. Again as I have stated with Moylan’s other offerings during my visit, everything is solid, very good even, but not on the level of the really elite craft breweries.

Pretty smooth overall. Aroma of coffee and some hops and dark chocolate. Tate is similar with coffee being the main focus. Dark bittersweet chocolate and hops roound ou this brew.

22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a dark brown color with a one finger thick tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is roasted malt and dark esters. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Palate has that oatmeal stout smoothness to it and there is no lingering aftertaste. Medium body. A good beer.

This poured perfect.Thick, black, no light coming through with a 2 finger khaki head that dissipates real slow.The nose was roasted with a hint of sweetness.Flavors swirling around chocolate, burnt coffee and a hint of metal twinge.I liked this beer, not overly impressed, but the finish is what dissapointed me.It just hung out to long coating my tounge with burntness.
