#100!! Wonderful! Definitely a deep, bitter chocolate aroma that does not disappoint the taste buds. Incredibly full-bodied and flavorful. Reaches close to perfection...

Definately one of the best stouts I’ve tried. Creamy and with a really long lasting palate. Glad I found it.

Dark and rich. A pinnacle of imperial stouts. Not as think and strong as the style dictates, but they pull this beer off very well. Chocolate and roasted coffee with a sweet and slightly bitter aftertaste. Great beer. One of my top 10.

Wow, just great through and through, from the full tan head and sweet smell to its smooth ending (could have a slightly more flavorful/lasting finish). Truly an excellent beer. Drank slightly chilled, mostly warm.

Whoah. This beer gave me a good ass-kicking. Guess that's why it's sold in 4-packs. Well worth the 6-pack price.

Pours dark, black. incredible nose. Sweet, chocolatey, raisiny, like an incredible port wine. Heavy mouthfeel with swirling flavors of malt, chocolate and mollasses. Smooth. easy finish. Outstanding beer.

Aroma is deep, rich and sweet almost like a Barley Wine. Color is solid black with good carbonation and a tight tan head. Taste is roasted and sweet. It starts with a full body that goes down with a rich smooth feel. Finish comes in sweet raisin like taste, mellow roasted flavors then a very faint bitterness. In the after taste the raisin lingers a bit then fades to a chocolate taste. This is just an amazing Imp. Stout, its soo rich and flavorful that its almost like a Barley Wine. Its hard to believe its only 7% alcohol.
