Commercial Description:
Three thousand feet above sea level in the misty mountains of Jamaica, some of the worlds finest Arabica beans are hand picked on their way to becoming Blue Mountain Coffee. Halfway around the world, plump spring barley grows to maturity in the loamy soil of North America while aromatic hops are cutivated to exacting standards. Here in our kettles, these three special ingredients are blended to create a heady mixture of sweet sugar, dark roast, and complex flavor. Please enjoy this brew in moderation.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a jet-black body with a finger-thick mocha head. Roasty aroma with lots of coffee (obviously), vanilla beans, dark chocolate and hints of caramel. Goes down creamy and smooth as silk, but a tad thin. Starts off pretty sweet. Lots of caramel and vanilla upfront. Finishes with a roasty coffee bitterness that lingers. Some warming alcohol throughout.

22 ounce bottle, pour is pitch black with a cream head. Aroma is straight malt and coffee. The taste is dominated by malt but that couples well with the coffee. Blue Mountain Coffee is some of the best coffee I have ever had and it stands to reason that a beer brewed with this coffee is solid. Well the Jah-Va lives up to it’s billing it is a coffee flavored stout with the best. Would buy again

This was a really good IMPY, although the label and description is off just a touch. There is zero coffee flavor in this at all, NONE, zip. notta. Minus that problem, this was a very BIG and toasted roasted impy stout. lots of complexity with fruit choclate caramel and heavy roast. I really liked it, but there is NO coffee in it!

Tasted at Ezra’s Imp Stout tasting--Poured a dark black-brown body with a fluffy tan head. This was all about darkness, creaminess and jah-va!!! Chewy, malty, toffee, creamy chocolate. I have to reiterate! Yum! Bitter hops and acidic coffee finish. More coffee than necessary, but that’s the point right?

Thick black pour.Nutty colored head. Roasty aroma, first mouthfeel is malty/hoppy followed by cofee. Leaves a big aftertaste of coffee/mocha. The taste of coffee is hidden in part because of the high volume 12ABV. Would def. try more of this great imperial stout.

Bottle courtesy Gillard. Pours black with a one finger tan head that leaves good lacing. Heavy aroma of coffee roasted malt, and bitter chocolate. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium full mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and very smooth alcohol. Damn good.

Dark brown with a fleeting tan head. Big roasted nut and grain aroma. Smooth medium body. Fairly dry flavors of rich, roasted malts and nuts mirrors the aroma. Has a nice mocha bitter sweetness to finish. Nice

Really nice beer. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee and booze. Has a strong taste of coffee and booze with a hint of vanilla. Very little carbonation to this one, nice bitter finish.
