hombrepalo (401), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 15, 2008 1/2 liter. Aroma of chewy chocolate, mocha, plums. Dark, thick black in both appearance and body. Taste is bready chocolate goodness, with a smooth, long lasting, long finish.
joshiez (35), USA Jul 15, 2008 pours dark, and lovely...a thin head, wheatish in color....
delicious aroma....chocolate hints, caramel....sweet and really beautiful smell.
oh....amazing taste! So sweet...and malty. This tastes so crisp and perfect....it’s roasted, yet clean....just amazing....I think this is the best beer I’ve ever had! My tastes must have really developed over the last year, because I couldn’t imagine drinking this before. But now....this is brewed perfection. Thank you God for blessing us with brewed love! Mutual_aid (84), Texas, USA Jul 14, 2008 Pours almost black with a creamy tan head. Aromas of toffee, chocolate, and butterscotch with only a hint of hop bouquet. Classic stout profile; big syrupy malt and assertive roasted barley flavors which collude to obscure the hop presence. Full bodied with a creamy, almost oily, mouthfeel. Long, toasty finish. Nothing to shake a stick at. yesyouam (313), Fairport, New York, USA Jul 8, 2008 Samuel Smith’s Imperial Stout is a brown black ale with a dense brown head that leaves nice lacing. The aroma is mostly of sweet malt, but it’s also grassy and fruity. It smells so damn good! It has a medium-full body that’s smooth and surprisingly crisp. The flavor is not overwhelming: sweet baked cookies, licorice and baking chocolate with a nice dark roastiness. It’s a very pulled-together flavor. There is a lick of medicine in the finish. This is a mature Imperial Stout. marcus (908), Sacramento, California, USA Jul 6, 2008 This black ale poured with a decent tan head and a chocolate malt aroma. There is a full chocolate malt flavor with a chalky slightly bitter finish.
