I’m not sure this is an imperial stout, but it’s certainly a very good stout. Pours thick black with lots of mocha head and lacing. Very pungent aroma of dark chocolate, roast malt and some smoke. Also lots of coffee. Leaves with a nice nutty and coffee bitterness. Texture thick and creamy. Bottle.

Bottle - Grapefruit and a bit of malt in the back. There is something spicy and odd in the nose, but nothing bad. Dark copper almost amber with a frothy off white head. Grapefruit and rind hit hard with a heavy dose of bitterness for good measure. Not nearly a balanced as the nose but a nice Hop bomb which I have never experience from these guys.

Bottle - Heavily spiced but the pumpkin is evident. Clear amber with a thick head that just won’t go away. A bit of bitterness that lingers and is not pleasant. I get the pumpkin pie, just not a fan if this because of the bitterness.

500 ml can. Clear gold with medium head. Good carbonation. Not much of a an aroma other than very light malts. Same for the taste though sweet with fruity hints. Nothing to write home about but the beer is smooth and the carbonation makes a good palate cleanser for a hot night and greasy food.

Bottle from Central City Liquor Store, Surrey
They really put some effort for the look, as it pours a total black, with creamy brownish head. The aroma of roasted malt and coffee is very nice. The mouthfeel is smooth, but also dry and medium thin; it has a strong presence of black malt, roasted malt, heavily roasted coffee, with accents of cardboard and light liquorice; average bitterness, some of it coming from the roastiness.
It was not expected to be Imperial, and indeed it’s not; it’s a fairly good Stout, for the lovers of the lean style.

Bottle - Malty nose with a hint of spice and a little citrus. Clear rich amber colour with a wonderful frothy head that lingers and expands. Thick malt flavour with vanilla and spice notes along with some bitterness that seems a bit out of place. A bit rich for a session beer, but makes a great winter ale.
