Jan 13, 2008 12 fl oz bottle, from trade with ygtbsm94. Pours dark brown to black with a dense light chocolate head. Smooth chocolate malty aroma. Flavour is very smooth chocolate malty. Solid chocolate bitterness yet very smooth as well. Ends with a nice mix of bitterness and chocolate lingering into the far finish.

Jan 12, 2008 Thanks Geuzedude. This is a very tasty classy RIS. Above average mouthfeel, though not very thick, and I think that matched the taste of chocolate and spices. Very drinkable!Coffee secondary, which I appreciated. Complex malt, yet bittersweet throughout. Minimal head on black.

Jan 12, 2008 Bottle shared by emacgee. Thanks Ethan! Pours a dark brown with a pretty nice light brown head. Nose is dark fruit, hops, bakers chocolate. Flavor is not particularly notable, with more bitter chocolate flavors and some malty spiciness.

Jan 10, 2008 Thanks again to Springslicker for sharing this one as well. A deep blackened red pour with a dark tan head. Aroma of burnt chocolate with hints of abv. Hard bitter dark chocolate flavor with a rich sweetness and no abv present. Smooth creamy and rich. Carbonation is excellent. Palate was a hint thinish but just a hint. A very fine offering.

Dec 31, 2007 Looks like all the other impy stouts. Smells better than most; roasty malt, chocolate, anise, some caramel, intense and rich, well balanced aroma, some berry fruitiness. Taste brings a bitter coffee not present in the smell, chocolate and some peppery spice. The taste just doesn’t come together for me as well as the aroma did. Body is a little lacking compared to other examples of the style and alcohol shows a little. Pretty nice but doesn’t stand out in the very crowded field of impy stouts.

Dec 29, 2007 This imperial stout pours a dark black color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is ashy, fruity and sweet. A medium bodied Imperial Stout. The malts are fruity and sweet, chocolate, caramel and ashy. The hops are earthy and floral. Kind of sweet, and a touch thin for an imperial stout. Interesting. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Dec 25, 2007 Bottle. I was lucky enough to find 2 six-packs of this glorious creation. Flavors and aromas of coffee and chocolate can be found in this jet black brew with a khaki-colored head. Beware: this beer induces the slippery slope effect. One of these will turn a "I’m only gonna have a beer or two" night into a "where is the whiskey because we’re out of beer" evening.
