Jan 11, 2009 Pours a dark chocolaty brown with a medium brown head. Very pleasant chocolate and slightly roasted malt aroma. Delicious sweet caramel and bitter-sweet milk chocolate flavors at first. The body is creamy and smooth and the finish is a slightly roasted oak that fades nicely.

Jan 8, 2009 Thanks to Daknole for this bottle. Pours black with a sweet aroma of sugar and chocolate. Very smooth mouthfeel but the flavor was of a pale malt extract and sugar. If that brew had ben just a little more roasty or hoppy, I think it would have hit the spot. Still, it’s not the worst that I have had

Jan 5, 2009 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of toasted, dark chocolate and strong coffee, light herbs and dough for the hops and yeast, with cola, sour milk and bourbon. Head is creamy, brown with fair lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is black. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic then finishes lightly bittersweet and acidic. Palate is full, between creamy and syrupy and has a soft carbonation. It finishes sticky in the mouth. Though light in flavor, it was very well balanced.

Jan 3, 2009 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Thanks daknole. Pours black with an active tan head that remains a while before finally settling down into a thick ring. Aroma is bubblegum and ash, roast tree fruits, molasses and cocoa. Flavor is similarly fruit-dominated, melon, citrus, and bubblegum, turning towards the dark fruits of roast malt, and finally finishing off with molasses and dark chocolate. Sweet throughout. Medium to full bodied, smooth, effervescent in the mouth.

Dec 29, 2008 Bottle courtesy of my Secret Santa. Pours black with a reddish brown head that quickly dissipates.Smells of hops and char. Tastes of coffee, bakers cocoa, oatmeal, and cherry cough syrup. Nice, boozy finish. A keeper, for sure.

Dec 27, 2008 This poured black in color with a fluffy light brown head of very fine bubbles that retained for quite some time. The aromas were of cotton candy, chocolate and confectionary sweets. In the mouth it was medium to full-bodied, smooth and concentrated with little carbonation. The flavors were sweet and nothing like a Stout. It was candied and sugary without much else going on.

Dec 21, 2008 Bottle: Jet black with a tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate and alcohol. Flavors of chocolate, malts and nuts. This is one of those stouts that i really enjoyed and thought was a quality brew, but don’t have much to say about it.

Dec 20, 2008 12oz bottle purchased in Fl. Dark syrup pour with minimal head. Sweet malty-molasses nose and sip. Smoky and hearty oatmeal body. Robust but simply is not in the league of other imperials. too slick and sour, hop balance is odd.
