Apr 10, 2008 Acquired via liquidsolutions. Pours a reasonably thick dark black that allows light through, one finger creamy tan head. Not as robust as I expected. The aroma is roasty, coffee, soy sauce, molasses. The flavor was roasty, soy sauce, coffee, a little sweet, nice waxy finish. The palate is nice and full and velvety on the tongue. Not my favorite impy, but still nice.

Apr 9, 2008 Pours black with a medium tan head. Smell is mildly roasty and lightly chocolately and caramel and ash. Taste is smooth roastiness and a bit creamy, but still thin bodied for the style. Nice and lightly hoppy to go along with the dark roasty flavor. Pretty good, and not the letdown I feared after having the Nils Oscar Barley Wine.

Apr 1, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Thin, burnt astringent black malt and plastic/chemical nose, all of the chocolate malt and roast is buried beneath this terrible astringency and chemical cleaner character. Flavor is a bit flat, a bit thin - moderate roast, some more cleaner/fluid flavors, light chocolate. Ultimately the body is just too weak and the roast is too weak. Against the grain big time for me.
