Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark roasted malts, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, touch of vanilla and some coffee roastiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a fine sweet to roasty to semi-bitter quality; finishes semi-dry with good sweet chocolatey notes
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, some smoothness but also some roasty assertiveness
Overall: very nicely done impy stout very worthy of returning to.

Sampled between ratebeer and brewver, so no extensive notes were taken. This is a great Imperial stout , american style. No additions , no barrel ageing, no nothing. just plain brewing skills very well shown off. Tad bitter, some sweetness, roasty, thick bodied, and rather low carbo. lovely !

Opaque colour, small brownish head. Strong sweet and roasted aroma has cocoa, coffee, fruityness and dates. Medium to full-bodied. Robust palate with similar flavour than the aroma. Alcohol is warming, coffee and cocoa in the aftertaste. Maybe a bit spiceyness too. Quite strong winter warmer.

Aroma is odd with some English hops, hay and licorice. Flavour has toffee, English hops and some licorice. Not exactly my thing.

Fantastic! Dark choc/cocoa/coffee/caramel/molasses/toffee/nuts/toast/biscuit/dark bread; lighter licorice/raisin/plum/smoke/charcoal/herbal/pepper/pine. Fairly hop/char bitter. Creamy/silky/bready full body. Fairly sticky/chalk drying, no acrid/astringent
