Tap @ Hoprevolution Vol.2. Dark as a night. Almost no head, just a small lacing. Aroma is quite strong in alcohol, coffee roast comes out more after the beer has warmed u a bit. Taste is full from the beginning. Tightly-packed liquorice, some smoke, hop bitterness. Aftertaste is quite intensive, some coffee and dark chocolate lingering on your tongue for longer. Feels great when the beer is moving through my throat, doing it just as carbonated coffee. Nice beer!

Pours black with a tiny head.Nose shows roasted malt, dark chocolate, nutty notes and liquorice.Pretty similar flavours but less complex, mainly roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee liqueur.Needs more carbonation, pretty much flat at the moment.

Draft in Washington DC, just a few days after returning from Tokyo. Apparently the beer beat me here. Almost black, nearly flat. Aroma of Hershey’s syrup. Taste is sweet milk chocolate, bitter finish. Acceptable.

Bottle purchased at Hunger Mountain Co-Op, Montpelier, VT. No bottle dating anywhere. This has been sitting in my clear since August. Hard to know how old it is. The beer poured a deep brown/ almost black color with thin tan head that only showed a ring around the snifter. Aroma is roasted malts with mild notes of chocolate and slight coffee. Mostly the same with some sugar upfront and mild licorice undertones. The hops are almost totally gone. Not a huge problem for me. The body leans on the full side with no ABV being detectable. Overall it’s a drinkable Impy stout, slightly above average. Nothing about it makes me want to run out and grab another bottle yet it does have some nice flavors.

9.0% Bottle. Opaque black beer. Thin chocolate - brown head, dies away quickly. Light airy palate. Dark malt, almost creamy and lightly toasted. Very light! A good streak of licorice. Finisihes dry with a licorice aftertaste. Also some of the ’green’ freshness that is in the Kurofone porter but not as bad.
