Draft at the Brewery. The rating prior to mine is from cheap. I do want to address that he may have gotten the wrong beer because this isn’t very similar to an impy stout. It is dark red, definitely not black but dark red. I do not get any burnt aspects. I do get a strong imperial red, as advertised. The hops are indeed woody but I would call them cedar-like hops. A little sweet fruitiness (cherry) and strong mineral character. Low bitterness, not a sweet malt (no caramel). Very tangy (not in the sour territory) but a tangy burst to the finish. Not particularly appealing to me

Dudes & dudettes, this is not a red ale, its an imperial stout, pretty funny, heheheeh. Big & black, large and incharge. Lots of stout in this, JMHO. Not sure how this is a red, heheheh. HAH, burnt wet volatile woody effects. Difficult, just like an on style alky impy stout. Big bitter almost black IPA finish. oooo, gittin dizzy after one big mug.

Bottle. Murky brown color. Aroma of dirty butterscotch. Taste is odd spiced licorice.

Deep brown-amber color. Huge foamy head. Sweet malty aroma with a solid bitter backbone. Somewhat mellow mouthfeel carbonation-wise, lots of thick malt flavor. Creamy and sweet, nice Imperial ESB.
