This full-bodied imperial stout pours an opaque mahogany color with a tan head. Its smell is dominated by notes of roasted coffee beans, with a slight hint of chocolate, but Simcoe and Fuggles hops add complexity to the aroma. The roasted barley is detectable in the taste, and this complements the bitterness from the Warrior hops - balancing out the sweetness from the load of malts used in brewing Peg Leg. A creamy mouthfeel makes this a smooth, utterly drinkable beer.

Overall Impression: Would like to rate this one again, but I had it as a relatively mediocre Imperial Stout the first tasting...

Pitch black coloured body, slightly clear near the bottom, with a fast-dying brown head. Aroma of fresh hops, chocolate, central american coffee, cherries and roasted malt. Medium-bodied; Full taste of malt with very little of the stronger characteristics-this one is VERY light! Aftertaste is very clean. Some sweetness noticeable, but nothing bittering at all. Overall, not an Imperial Stout, and in fact you’d have no idea it was supposed to be one aside from the label and perhaps the body. More like a sweet stout than anything else. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Opera House Gourmet in Manassas, Virginia on 29-July-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Near black. Light head. The aroma is mostly nutty with some deep coffee. Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Nutty, coffeeish taste. Finishes sweet with just a hint of alcohol.

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a smaller tan head. Nose is sweet, chocolatey, and roasted malt. Flavor is roasty into a bittersweet cocoa. Some coffee. Dry, lingering bittersweetness. Kind of had a porter feel to it, but still enjoyable. Thanks Jeremy.

Bottle. Appearance out of the bottle looks more like cola than an Imperial Stout. Thin and dark with a fizzy head. Aromas are almost non-existent... dark malt, but not much else. Flavor is sweet to the point of cloying with little support from ABV or roasty malt to help things balance out. I think that this is possibly the worst Impy Stout I’ve tried to date... then again, there’s always another shot tomorrow.

Pours deep black into a snifter. Mild cocoa and coffee aromas. Mocha head recedes to skim surface. Thin and slightly metallic. Lasting bitter chocolate finish.

Dark malty stout. Not as complex as the other imperial stouts I’ve had. Roasted coffee flavor. A pleasant beer - no doubt - however, you get what you pay for. Overall, good beer.

Black color with a big creamy head. It has a mild creamy coffee or dark chocolate aroma. Medium body strength, with a reasonable caramel and chocolate flavor; I like it because it’s a bit sweet too and the roasted malt is very limited, but there is no complexity.

Ok, borders on sweet stout territory. The sweet stout of imperials. Scary black stout with a roasty strong sweet aroma. Big black and bitter. Tarry bitter but behaved at times or perhaps my palate is becoming insensitive to impy wimpy stouts? Tarry bittier over the top stout experience. Will not buy again. Good example of the style. It was there and had to try it.
