Jul 13, 2005 Barely a head over an opaque body - black. The aroma is very mild and doesn’t have a particular distinction. The flavor is also very mild, and mostly roasty and a hint of yeast. Not as rich or thick as I tend to look for in a imperial stout.

Jul 9, 2005 Nearly completely opaque with a medium-sized, dark tan lace - aroma of dark roast coffee - full mouthfeel - quite dry and not sweet at all (quite a nice change from some of the other clowing imperial stouts out there) - perfectly bitter and roasty - very full for an imperial of such a low ABV - pretty impressive, but not great.

Jul 7, 2005 Dark black with beige head, that fades quickly. Aroma and flavor are all coffee. Not bitter, black coffee, but coffee nonetheless. Sorry, once again I don’t like coffee.

Jun 21, 2005 Discount Liquors, Milwaukee, WI. - 12 oz bottle. Pours a ruby red to tar black with loads of sediment floating about. Sports a medium sized mocha head which fades rather quickly. Aroma has a touch of ripe fruit and roasted coffee. Flavor is not as pronounced as most Imps, but there is a pronounced coffee flavor, some wine n the background and a bit of unidentified fruit. Mouthfeel is thick enough, but not up to Imp status. Overall, good, but not great.

Jun 16, 2005 Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. Roasted coffee with light chocolate aroma. Pours a dark brown with an off-white head that quickly fades to a ring. Flavor is almost all roasted coffee. A touch of chocolate barely peaks thru. Coffee sticks into the finish and lingers into the aftertaste. Not strong enogh. Not big enough. Not thick enough. Almost no malt. Lacking in most areas of an imperial. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t live up to Imperial qualities.

Jun 13, 2005 Bottle. This one came in a trade from BrockLanders. Thanks dude! Pours black and clear with a few floaters and a nice tan head. Nose is decent, nothing out of the ordinary for the style. Ok aromas but not earthshattering. Taste immediately hits with cocoa and hop bitterness and hints of coffee, but not much sweet malt in the first few quaffs. As it warms and I get to the chunks, it sweetens a bit and balances a bit better. Not bad palate, but not extraordinary in any way. A solid beer, but not an award winner.

May 29, 2005 Black with almost no head at all. Some roastiness and some chocolate but the flavors don’t mesh well. Too thin bodied without much flavor.
