From a variety pack: pours black with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, molasses, with dark, but not great, coffee. Taste is somewhat sweet. Body is lightly oily kind of thickish without being too heavy. Not the most complex. Morp.

If you like impy sout, invert my numbers. Big and black tap at Hollywood. Typical intriguing impy stout dark beer aromas. first palate impression is big heavy high alky impy stout impact. Quite a wallop. At first youy don’t know its warming but then it sneaks up on yah. Mouth coating warming sensations going all round. Terribly on style, what else can be said except perhaps its a little smoother than many domestic imp stouts.

Sampled at Boise’s Imperial Stout get together, over 120 bottles to choose from. Going with the flow on this rating. This was one of my contributions to the cause.

Draft at Barcade, Philadelphia. Thick tan head sits on the stout and laced the sides as I drank. Deep roasted malts filled the air as I inhaled. Crazy amounts of roasted barley and malt. Flavor of cocoa, deep barley, roasted grain, semi sweet chocolate with a light oak in the finish. I really enjoyed sipping this because the 10% was nowhere to be found. I had to remind myself to sip. This is without a doubt the best beer from this brewery. Nice.

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a large creamy dark tan head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was burnt and roasty with notes of anise, faint chocolate, wood and a hint of vanilla. The flavor was vanilla, cocoa, wood and roasty malts with touches of smoke, rum and cherry underneath. The finish was long and the body was creamy, silky and fairly full. Nice.

Bottle. Pours black with tan head. Nose of licorice, anise, roast chocolate malts and vanilla. Taste of burnt, almost chalky, roasted chocolate malts with vanilla, licorice, anise and some sarsaparilla in the finish. Light barrel presence. Well worth the price.

Lightly roasted malts, some coffee, burnt malts, light vanilla aroma. Thin body. Flavor is mostly roasted and slightly burnt malt, coffee, molasses, bittersweet, light chocolate. Finish is long and bitter with light molasses. It’s a good stout, no doubt. Adjusted the rating from 3.5 to 3.9 because this years offering really stepped up its game, IMO. Delicious.
