Black with a dense grey head. Aroma of dark bread, liquorice, coughing juice and sauce. The flavour is bitter-sweet and dominated by liquorice all the way through - in fact it gets kind of one sided...

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.

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.

Jul 6, 2008 Poured black with a off brown head. An aroma of chocolate and coffee. On taste it just didn’t seem full bodied and a bit light for an Imperial Stout. It was good but not an upper tier imperial.

Jul 4, 2008 English take on the RIS. Black pour, nice head. More chocolately than coffee, nice amount of carbonation. Not as astringent as some imperial stouts.
