22oz bottle. Pitch black body, thin, patchy beige head. Syrupy chocolate aroma. Massive chocolate malt tones, rich and sweet. Not bad, but nor really competing with the other 57 Imperial Stout bombers on the shelf next to it. Oh wait, this is just an 8.5% Stout that costs $7.99 a bomber. Gotcha. Kinda creamy and mild in some respects, but has that unmistakable Imperial Stout oily specialty malt tone. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee. Standard, enjoyable brew.

Bottle: Pours clear, dark amber with a minimal, off-white head. Slightly toasty caramel malt aroma. Taste is caramel, with a soft fruitiness. Malty, a bit of nut...increasing as it warms. Not bad.

Bottle: Pours cloudy amber-orange with a frothy, off-white head. Citrus, orange-grapefruit aroma. Taste is leafy, resiny bitter...malty. A decent IPA, wish the citrus showed up as much in the flavour as the nose, though.

Poured from 1 pint (6 fl oz) bottle. Orange-ish brown colour with dissipating off-white head. Some mild metal, banana, yeast, coriander, and various spices on the nose. Alcohol covers some of the flavour. Medium-light body, dry finish.

Pours a copper-gold with minimal head. Aroma and flavor are both very floral-grassy, with some citrus and a lot of malt present. Not bad but not real great, either.

Bottle: Hazy amber-orange with a small, off-white head. Orange malt aroma. Taste is sweet, orange, citrus, a little pine. Heavier resin notes at finish. Not bad at all, but pretty mild for a double.

Bottle: Pours black...with a thin, quick, dark tan head. Roasty chocolate, coffee aroma. Flavour is dark, bitter chocolate and coffee. Roast, vanilla. Good, even, hop bitter.... Slightly creamy, but not sweet. Dry... A good, solid stout. Very nice example.

Single big bottle from Albertsons in Vegas. Pours a dark brown colour with a creamy beige head, creating creamy sticky lacing, after disappearing slowly. Cacao aromas with vanilla notes, Mild roasted malts and lots of hops for the style. Smooth, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Again, quite hoppy for the taste over the chocolate malt, finishing with good bitterness. This American Stout is quite a treat with all the strong spots for this style, plus hops. Just a little too expensive as similar products had this week, were half the price.

Enjoyed at the Pink Taco in Vegas. Pours a deep amber colour with a foamy warm cap, sloppy lacing and a nice coat tops the brew. Fruity malt nose (orange, plum) with caramel notes. Starts off with a rich malt and ends with a bitter finish. Mild dry mouthfeel. Quite a nice brewed amber ale overall.
