Aug 8, 2009 Calm black pour with tan head that dissipates and lingers as a rim around the glass. Roasty aroma of chocolate, licorice, coffee. Some dark cherry and currant notes. Smooth coffee and dark fruit taste, maybe a hint of roast and chocolate. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, but slick. Finished dry and roasty. Pretty good Impy.

Jul 28, 2009 Black pour with an eggshell head that diminishes to nothing (due, in part, to ABV levels). Lots of malty mixed chocolates with dark cherry & raspberry esters fill the bouquet. Some dark fruity esters upfront mix with roasted notes; dark bittersweet / milk chocolates and molasses in the mid-palate, and some citrus and roasted, toasted hopping (well-integrated) to the back-palate. Some coffee beans and roasted toasty malts, along with a mild hop, closes the finish. A darn good impy stout, as the mouthfeel is full, thick and slick. The palate is complex and well-integrated. Overall, it’s an extremely good offering, and a sweet impy stout that I’d seek out again!

Jul 4, 2009 Bottle pours dark and ebony with a tiny beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, Columbian coffee, and dark and red fruits. Satiny body is almost full. Taste features a dark roastiness of scalded coffee and dark chocolate, accented with notes of charcoal, raisins, and ripe berries. A hint of darker fruits and red apples adds complexity. Nice stout!

Jul 2, 2009 Bottle via trade with adrian910ss. Pours a deep brown black with a large rich brown head that quickly reduces. Aromas and flavors of oak, burnt malts, tobacco, dirt, bitter coffee, and chocolate. A little oxidized. Very full body. Pretty good IRS, but I prefer their Baltic Porter.
