Commercial Description:
The darkest of the beers we make, this imperial-style stout has a full body, a rich hearty dark-chocolate taste and a coffee-like finish. Its surprisingly smooth drinkability is enhanced by the careful blending of the finest English Kent Golding and Fuggle hops.

750 ml bottle. I had this bottle conditioning for 6 months in the basement. Nice label. The pour is very dark, with more head than a dozen Bangkok whores. Tons of lacing all the way down the pint. Great malt flavor with hints of light coffee, molasses, and almonds. Not as rich as other imperials I've had, and the secondary fermentation seems to be lacking a bit. It took me two years to find this one in a bottle, but it was worth it. If Carol Stoudt gets divorced, I'll marry her.

Another imperial stout that dissapoints, way to light for me. The flavors do not explode in your mouth, just to tame for what an Imperial Stout should have.

Good roasted malt aroma, dark black color with a full light brown head. Good roasted malt flavor but a little drier than I was expecting from an Imperial Stout. Very good stout but kind of light for an Imperial.

Deep black po with a frothy tan head. Nice aroma, full of roasted maple, coffee, and some chocolate. Nice smoked taste. Some roasted malt, kind of bitter. Very well made though. A nice Stout indeed.

Weak entry as an imperial stout. Dark brown black pour fluffed tan head leaves fast. Roasty with maple and some smoke aromas. Coffee and chocolate, spicey clove. Balancing act with bitter and sweet. Thinner body than most in the style. Nice stout overall.

Mild coffee aroma, chocolate and some chicory too. Deep brown, a trace of red at the edge, small cappuccino head. Marvellous flavour of mild coffee at first, followed by hints of dried fruit. Light bodied for the style, and the bitterness seemed to fade away? Very nice beer.

Dark brown in colour. Aroma was roasty, coffee beans, toffee. Flavour of dark chocolate, mild coffee, slightly sweet, medium body. Finishes with a medium bitterness, slightly sweet. Light for an imperial stout but still quite good.

Very dark brown. Aroma shows oats, raisins, prunes, some burnt toffee notes. Light espresso and toast palate. Slightly sweet, slightly vinous. Interestingly unroasty (oatmeal porter?). Well-made, distinctive.
