9th October 2008. GABF. The name give at the fest was the regular Argus but the abv was 8.3% and this was a hoppy beer so I am taking a leap of faith and guessing this was the Imperial. Cloudy dark brown beer. Quite hoppy. Quite dry. A little sweet and aromatic.

Draft goblet. Dark brown, almost black body, with a quarter-inch cappuccino foam head. First sniff sends a shot of piney hops across the bow, with a volley of grapefruit to follow. Taste is about the same, in fact, I think I swallowed a piece of hop leaf. No "coffee" or "chocolate" malts as the menu card claimed, just a pile of nutty brown malts. It can’t compete with this hop-head’s wet dream, so it stays somehow separate. Stickiness on the lips, some alcohol, but not too warming. It’s like drinking three beers in one—a brown ale, a hoppy IPA and a strong ale!
