Apr 6, 2008 Bottle (22 oz.) Unleashed at cellar temperature and Heresy let loose a lively head that was several fingers high. Aromas were fairly weak for an Imp. Stout... chocolate is dominant and there is a hint of peat, smoke and bourbon. Flavor holds all of the above with a lovely silky mouthfeel and a touch of vanilla to help smooth things out. Additionlly, the alcohol is not distracting but noticeable as it warms a bit.

Apr 5, 2008 Bottle from BR007. Pours a pitch black with a nice tan head. Has a medium/heavy mouthfeel. Smells like chocolate with a side of chocolate. Tastes like a creamy stout that has been smoothed with aging in oak. Has a subtle oak flavor with mostly chocolate upfront and a nice roasty aftertaste. This is a very tasty brew.

Apr 4, 2008 Beautiful aroma. typical roastiness observed in most stouts, with a nice smell of bourbon and a hint of vanilla. The appearance is also beautiful; jet balck, with a medium brown foam head. The flavor is sweet like a stout, some notes of the oak in it. No taste of the bourbon, surprisingly enough. Persistent roasty flavor left on the palate. Thick mouthfeel. Excellent stout.

Mar 30, 2008 Updated: Apr 4, 2008It’s got a cloying sweet smell, alcohol, raisins, chocolate milkshake, palate starts out with whiskey, coffee, chocolate, mellows as you sip it. This is rich decadent complex stuff. The look is very very dark with red highlights. This is one fine beer.
By accident this happened to be my 666th rating...

Mar 29, 2008 Pint bottle. Black-brown with a lovely small brown head that recedes to a thick ring. Aroma of roast, chocolate, and maybe even some vanilla. Not as strong as you’d think it’d be, though. The flavour is very chocolatey, with oak following along behind, and mocha, vanilla, and roast bringing up the rear. Some hops in the finish. Alcohol is very well hidden; you’d never know this was such a strong beer. Incredibly silky smooth and full. Very nice.

Mar 25, 2008 This is a great barrel aged Stout that isn’t overwhelmed by the flavors of the barrel! Slight roasted aroma, sweet, boozy, malty and coffee flavor low carbonation and a great slick mouth feel! Definitely a winner!

Mar 22, 2008 Near black colour, flat and oily-looking. Beefy, oily aroma like Indonesian soy sauce. Soft and sweet with light bourbon nuances. Dark chocolate, minerals, leaves and muscovado sugars on the palate.
