Jun 26, 2008 This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a small sized head of foamy dark brown colored finely sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a semi-opaque dark brown colored soda pop like body. The aroma was of nice chocolate coffee and malty notes. The mouth feel was strongly tingly from start to finish. The strong flavor of dark malts hops coffee and chocolate was mildly vinous and very yummy.

Jun 25, 2008 Snifter. Pours pitch black with modest tan head. Aromas of espresso, roasted malt, chocolate, and peanut butter. Smells like a roasted mocha with a dash of hop content. Flavors are deeply roasted though sweet. Coffee is quite noticable. Among other flavors are roasted, though not burnt malt, as well as a bit of bitter chocolate. Balance is great and coffee adds a great twist of flavors- I’m such a sucker for coffee stouts!

Jun 21, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a dark black. Thin, light brown head. Nice roasted coffee aroma. Very thick mouthfeel, smooth and creamy. Sweetness upfront, but the finish is long and bitter. Some warming alcohol, but not overpowering.

Jun 19, 2008 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.

Jun 18, 2008 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

Jun 16, 2008 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!

Jun 16, 2008 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?

Jun 15, 2008 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.
