A real pretty copper color with a firm and lasting head. Nice aroma. Malty with sweet, fruity hops, and some biscuit. Flavor has a lot of that fruitiness but pulls the sweetness back, which is nice. Some malts and spices round out the flavor. Finishes rather bitter and lasting. Body is a little more carbonated than I would like, but it’s not bad. I found this to be highly refreshing and really enjoyed the crisp hoppy flavor. I’d go through a few of these in a night.

Bottle. Poured almost purple with thin fast dissipating white head. Aroma of citrus and caramel and raisins. Sweet raisiny flavour with a citrus and alcohol note. Alcohol finish. Not reallly bad, but not a winner either

‘07-12oz bottle-Thanks to Ibrew2or3@Tampa Wkly Gathering-pours a thin light brown head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-earthy/chocolate/anise. Taste is sweet dark malt-earthy/chocolate/anise/caramel, roasty, dark fruit, slight hops.

Bottle. Poured caramel brown with a thick white head. Thin hop aroma, a bit of summer flower. Thin flavour, a little malt, a little caramel, a little breadiness. Medium finish, some pepperiness and a bit of hop. Looks great, tastes ordinary

courtesy of ibrew2or3. Pours thick black with a thin beige head. Aroma is malty with hints of roast. Flavor, chocolate and caramel malts adding some bitterness, roast, dry mouthfeel with hints of dark fruits. We all need more Dicks in our life.

Relatively weak aroma of raisins and dates. Black, slightly viscous pour, thin yellow head. Well balanced coffee, raisin, charred oak flavor. Licorice and coffee finish. Bloody mouthfeel. Alcohol well hidden. An imperial stout that is better "down your gullet" than "in your face". Tasty.

Very dark and thick. Very nice roasted malt aroma. Some coffee, light chocolate, as well. Flavor is full of bittersweet chocolate, roasted malts, and some coffee. Body is a bit more carbonated than I would prefer in this type of stout, but still nice. Overall a very nice stout.

Golden copper with a white head. Plenty of citrus hop aroma. Fresh fruit, light floral, grapefruit, light pine, and some sweet caramel. Very pleasant aroma. Flavor continues the fresh citrus hop feel. Grapefruit and medium caramel malts round it out. Finishes with some refreshing bitterness and light pine. A very nice IPA.

I’d have to say I can’t seem to get enough Dick’s. This is my ninth rating of brews from Dick’s Brewing Company and I still want more. This one has about two years on it. Pours deep dark brown with thin mocha head. The aroma is sweet multi layered goodness with notes of caramel, faint chocolate and toffee. The taste is a bit astringent with dark and roasty malts moving toward chocolate and a hint of dark fruity esters. By midway it gets smoother with roastiness mixing with a smoothed out chocolate notes. It ends with yummy roasty malts, caramel and chocolate.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Straightforward looking Imperial Stout. Black with a tan head. Coffee, sweet cocoa aroma. Starts somewhat sweet with roast bitterness on the back end. Full bodied and smooth.
