Bottle with many thanks to decaturstevo. Wow! This one rivals for the best beer I’ve had. Definitely in the top 3! Pours thick black with tan head. Good lacing. Nose is cocoa nibs, chocolate, bourbon, espresso, coffee, toffee and lots of other goodness. Taste is similar flavors. The cocoa nibs really shine. A tad sticky, but that doesn’t distract from this overall masterpiece. 4.9 Rerated: 3.9

The bottle looks great, as well as the beer in the glass. Deep black, small head. Starts malty, strong, quite dry. More and more chocolate and cacao notes appear, but not too intense. Finish a bit milder, not as dry as the beginning. Quite drinkable for an Imperial Stout. Really good!

RBSG09 Grand Tasting notes (thanks to whoever brought it). Pure chocolate bomb. While it does a great job with creating a good chocolate flavor, I didn’t find a lot of complexity. Very good aroma, all chocolate but wonderfully intense. Tastes like rich, high quality semi-sweet to milk chocolate. The best chocolate flavor I’ve found in a stout, however it’s kinda one note stout in a field of deep, dark, gigantically complex entries. Preferred the CC 110k+ from that night by a fair margin.

Draft at Brewvival: Subdued dusty oak nose. Black, medium tan head, some lacing. Dark chocolate flavor, with a charred oak and unwelcome bitter grass finish. I’m not seeing what all the buzz is about with this beer. It seemed fairly average to me.

2009 bottle 257/600, pours a thick black with a tall dark tan head. Aroma is heavy on the chocolate with roasted malt and some alcohol as well. Wonderful burnt sugar and chocolate flavors with some dark fruit as well. There is a nice finish of black patent malt and coffee with again some booze in the vein of bourbon, it’s sweet and lingering. Very nice RIS!

19th July 2008. Smooth slightly creamy and remarkably light Impy Stout. Smooth non bitter coffee, a little chocolate and an undertone of subtle red fruit. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Bottle with thanks to kp. Pours a dark and viscous brown with a head that has died to a film as I wait for this to warm. Aromas of chocolate, tobacco, leather, pine and so on. The label of this is kick ass and adds a tick to the appearance without question. Flavor is chocolate malt based, but has a pine hops edge to the finish. Tons of cherries come out as this warms, which makes the experience all the better. God bless Sexual Chocolate. This is darn fine stuff.
