head is an attractive dark tan on a black body. The nose has some coffee and chocolate with a hint of bubble gum and some whiffs of something medicinal. The taste has bittersweet chocolate, a thick maltiness, coffee and a hint of cherry and other dark fruits. There is more effervescence than you would expect in a Russian imperial stout, which blunts many of the taste elements.

Bottle @ home via the ol’ rot box. Pours a black appearance with a dark brown head. Burnt roasted malty nose with chocolate, some char, smoke, light coffee, and a fair amount of anise. Medium full body. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. More anise, piney hops, and dark chocolate in the flavor. Fairly smooth. Not sure I’m crazy about the flavor but it’s ok.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized foamy brown head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was sweetish, malty and toasty with notes of cherry and berry underneath. The flavor was cherry and port wine followed by toasty malts and a bit of wood. Long almost roasty finish of cherry, port wine and wood. Moderately full bodied. Solid.

22 oz. bottle aged 1 year 3 weeks. Purchased @ Table and Vine, West Springfield, MA for $8.99. Typical poor into a snifter. Nose has roasted malt, dark fruit and slight booze. Flavor is similar but a has a pronounced lingering dark fruit. BIG raisin or a prune like dark fruit. (Maybe from the age) You can pick up the English hops when warm. The body is in the medium range. High drinkability, I finished the bomber with ease. I only picked up the ABV slightly after it reached room temp. Well worth a try!

Bomber from Half Time. Pours quite black with a 3 finger foamy/creamy tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate with some hoppy/veg notes. Full body. Flavor is chocolate, dark fruit, residue of burnt malt/ashy, and some mouth grabbing bitterness, buffered by what seems to be a touch of treacle. I’m also thinking this has floral, but the flavor is so strong and complex it’s hard to be sure. Anyway, if it’s an Impy Stout you want, with no frills and silliness, this is a very good choice.
