Smuttynose Imperial Stout

Bomber shared with after4ever. Pours an opaque blackish brown with a lacy tan head. Coffee, chocolate and and pine/floral hops on the nose. Full body with moderate carbonation. The taste sweet with coffee, chocolate an dark fruit. The finish is bittersweet with the hop and smoky espresso coming through the roasty malt.

Thanks to nhorween for this. Pours extremely thick, black, and with a one finger brown head. Aroma is tons of chocolate. Body is as heavy as it looks. Flavor is very hoppy and lots of chocolate. reminiscent of Yeti. Finish is somewhat alcoholic. aftertaste is quite smoky. This is a very good imperial stout. Really good. I see a price tag of $5 on the bomber. Hell of a deal. Imperial stouts are just so good.

Phenomenal beer. It pours a black body with a murky/muddy clarity. Medium-brown, small fizzy head that leaves fair lacing as it begins to diminish. Aroma is of chocolate malts, mild coffee, and a sweet, floral perfume scent. Initial taste is lightly sweet, building to a medium sweet finish with a long duration that we were very thankful for. Thin body, yet creamy. Reviewer’s notes: "Nice lacing and dark brown on top, oh wow, I would like this with a scoop of ice cream, very good stout"

Thick brown/black appearance with a chocolate/moca aroma. Pours thick and viscous like into the mug. Smooth silky initial taste with a medium mouthfeel. Hoppy and malty but not overpowering. A relatively smooth finish makes this an excellent stout for the money

This one has been sitting in my cellar for months now. Always had my doubts about this one. After all, how good could this beer be at only $3.99 for a 22oz. bottle?? (thats dirt cheap around here). Pours a deep black with a small tan head. Decent sticky lacing. When I popped the cap I thought I was smelling an IPA. Aroma was very hoppy. Can’t figure that one out. The flavor sure couldn’t be the same way could it?? Holy crap! Am I drinking an Imperial Stout or and Imperial IPA? Talk about the best of both worlds! This should be renamed as an IMSTIPA. It is starting to warm a bit now and is getting even better. WTF???? This is sooooo close to being perfect. If you could just add a slight Belgian taste it would be perfect. I think this is the longest description I have ever written.

From 22oz. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Flavor the same. Appearance is dark brown/black with thin tan head that dissipates quickly. Good thick palate with a little too much carbonation to make it really smooth. Overall pretty good, but Imperial Stouts is a hard category to compete in.

Hoopy booze citrus roastz aroma. dark mahodony under short beige. hoppy strong coffee. full, thick, and alky.

(Bottle) Pours dark, dark brown. allmost no head. Citric, pine, rasin, Centennial hop aroma with hints of liquorice. A bit burned. Salty, roasted, liquorice and bitter hops in flavour. Dry, big body. Very good.
