Jan 23, 2006 Updated: Jul 30, 2006Bottle. Pours a dark brown/black with thin off white head. Aroma is roast coffee malts and a bit of vanilla. Taste is roast, chocolate, espresso, and strong hops. This is nothing that makes me say "WOW", but is certainly very drinkable and is a great representation of the style without kicking your ass.

Jan 22, 2006 22 oz bomber. Pours dark brown with a thin head. Aromas of smoked wood, coffee and chocolate lead the way to the taste. Unfortunatly I found the taste to be dominated by smoke which took away from the other less pronounced flavors. It was still alright but there are others out there that are much better.

Jan 18, 2006 Updated: Jan 19, 2006Draft at Barley’s smokehouse guest tap - Pours black with a creamy tan head that stayed pretty well and laces down the shaker. Aroma is nice roasted malt. a bit of dark fruit and a fair hop finish. Flavor comes through with much chocolate and coffee, a bit of dark fruit and a bitter hop finish. Palate is smooth and creamy and a nice reasonable Impy that I enjoyed tasting.

Jan 17, 2006 Cask at the Maproom. Foamy almost soapy like head. Dark black color. Super hoppy nose. Very floral. Smooth taste. More like a brown ale, and very good too. Good amount of alcohol. Fairly understated with little malt and hop characteristics, but some lingering coffee, chocolate notes. Not really an imperial stout, but a good beer.

Jan 14, 2006 Bottle - huge roasty nose with chocolate undertones. Black body with a thin medium brown head. Possibly as roasty a flavor as I’ve come across. A touch thin for an imperial stout. Very nice overall.

Jan 6, 2006 22 oz bomber, lot # 3345. Pours a dark deep black with a thin tan head. The aroma is excellent with chocolate and roasted malts. The taste is pretty mild for what I expect from a Imperial Stout. It is a well balanced beer, and quite tasty. Maybe expectations would not be so high with the Imperial name in the title, but still a solid Stout.

Jan 5, 2006 2005. The stats on the bottle tell the story: 8.5% ABV, 45 IBU, this is not the most extreme imperial but who cares? This is a somewhat sweet stout with lots of roast and smokey, choclate, and liquorish notes. More like a foreign stout.
