Jul 9, 2003 Updated: Mar 7, 2005This beer is pretty light for an imperial stout. Very good flavor however. There is a bit of roasted coffee and chocolate in this one. Opaque color, with a fizzy tan head. I have to agree with the others here in saying would be a better dry stout then an imperial. 3-5-05 Had another bottle that has been "laying down" on my wine rack in the basement for almost 2 years. The ageing has done wonders for this beer. Much smoother, a little sweeter. Much more enjoyable. Numbers reflect a rerate.

Feb 2, 2004 best beer i've had by this brewer, though thought it tasted like more of an oatmeal stout, or a full bodied not too dry dry stout. kinda like the shakespeare stout. anyway, on cask at the sharp edge in pittsburgh. very smooth and balanced and nice. yay!

Jun 29, 2004 Bottle pours a thick black with a beautiful head that looks like the top of a root beer floot. aroma is alternating between roasted malt and slight fruit. taste is very good. up front chocolate flavor with a mix of fruity hop. finish is smooth and leaves a cocoa taste. Thanks for the sample Lumpy.

May 10, 2005 Pours an opaque black with a thick (2 inch) rich brown head. Smell is malty and chocolatey, lightly bitter.
Tastes of coffee and chocolate. Creamy too, like a latte. Sweet dark chocolate versus bitter chocolate that you get from many stouts. Lightly oaty. Full bodied with sweet chocolate mocha aftertaste. Very smooth and drinkable for a big flavorful stout. Very pleasant drinking experience.

Dec 6, 2003 750 ML bottle, vintage data 9/30/03 drank on 12/6/03. Brown/black color with a nice tan head, excellent lacing. Rich chocolate aroma with hints of milk. Creamy mouthfeel, starts lightly bitter and ends a bit sweet. An excellent stout, but it is not an imperial stout.
