Dec 9, 2007 Bottle from Capones, sampled with Stegosaurus. Dark pour with the typical roast\ coffee aroma same in the taste but I got to tell you that Stegosaurus and I found this to be a little thin and watery. We were a little dissapointed.

Nov 24, 2007 My bottle shows this at being 7% ABV rather than the 6.5% on the beer’s page. No matter. It pours a dark mahogany body, nearly black, with a short lived brown head. It has an aroma of dark roasted malt, aniseed, chocolate syrup, and a touch of charred wood. Seems a bit thin for an Imperial Stout, but still with a smooth mouthfeel. The flavor has all of the above and the addition of dark dried fruits and a nutty, woody bitterness. Very nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Nov 22, 2007 50cl bottle, with thanks to sunevdj. Pours a dark black with a towering bubbly tan head, good lacing. Aroma is a bit thin, but presence of roasted malts, light smoke, and powdered cocoa. Flavor is thinner, but nice and roasty/burnt, with some chocolate, coffee, and a gentle hoppy bitterness. Not a butt kicking powerful Imperial Stout, but solid and enjoyable.

Nov 16, 2007 Updated: May 31, 2008Bottle. The color is near black and the head is brown and short lasting. Aroma of heavily rosted malt with notes of salted liquorice, coffee, raisins/dried fruit, cocoa, smoke and fruity hops. Taste of roasted malt, coffee, salted liquorice, raisins, smoke, caramel and bitter hops. Great and well balanced Imperial Stout. 7% alcohol.

Nov 14, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Deep blackish pour with 2-finger tan head and good lacing. Aroma is roasty dark malt, chocoff, some molasses, and some PVC wafts. The taste is roasty dark malty, with some brown sugar, coffee, tart cherry, and chocolate notes. Not a terribly dense palate, and the parts just don’t seem to meld together for me. Perhaps I’ve been spoiled by the huge Impy Stouts, but this one fails to wow me.

Nov 12, 2007 bottle....appearance: semi thin dark brown cola pour with a thin light tan head....aroma: dark fruits, burnt roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, and some coffee rinds....taste: bitter cofee, lots of roasted malt that leaves a bitter finish in the end. mouthfeel was way too thin being an imperial stout.....was expecting a little more from this one.
