Consumed after a bottle of bourbon county stout... unfortunately after that this one just couldn’t hold its own. tasted all right, looked all right and smelled all right...

Dec 28, 2009 In the bottle at Phil and Bernie’s holiday stout tasting. 2008 version: pours black with a medium thick beige head. Slight green apple aroma of acetaldehyde. Milky palate that is medium thick. Quite good. 2009 version: seems to be a much better version than 2008, has more caramel, toffee and molasses.

Dec 28, 2009 As advertised pours as dark as a moonless night. No head on this one just a thin layer of froth. Coffee and licorice notes initially Nice roastiness and the Oats are definitely apparent. Medium body, slightly oily but not as full as most Impy’s. Well balanced flavors yet a bit subdued, just a hint of bitterness and finishes slightly dry. Flavors range from chocolate, grainy roasted malt and molasses. Overall a well made beer.

Dec 20, 2009 Pours very dark and only a hint of light can be seen, head faded quickly. Nose is a faint roasty aroma. Very full mouthfeel, roasted malts, burnt. Flavor is muddled not crisp and a ’green’ flavor lingers. This just didn’t finish well.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle - Looks black, thick, and inviting in the glass, with a small tan head. Smells of caramel, whiskey-soaked bread, and some nuttiness. Taste is sweet and grainy with some whiskey bite, bourbon sweetness, and some bitter roast on the finish. Real smooth and velvety in the mouth -- just ridiculously decadent.

Dec 9, 2009 Thanks 17thfloor for sharing! Pours very dark nearly black with a slight red hue and a thick tan foamy head. Aroma of heavy molasses and candy chocolate cocoa. Bits of roasted coffee. Some woody and earthy malts. Definitely some maple in there too. Flavor starts super sweet, cocoa and chocolate, very dessert candy syrupy. Picks up some woody oak and maple. Dark raisin and plum fruitiness appears towards the finish. Finishes bitter coffee and roasted nuts. Medium to full sticky body and minimal carbonation. Nicely complex imperial stout, could use a bit thicker body and more of a meshing of the flavors but still a nice dessert beer.
