Golden color, white head. The mouth has an excellent malt back bone with tons of tangerines and a great great spicy kick that hits the aback of the throat. Really interesting habenero character. I love the spice, but think another pepper would work better. Really well constructed and lovely beer. The spice just lingers and lingers. Awesome.

Pours black with a light tan head. Hand pump pour so the head is pretty tame. Aroma is chocolate on top of hazelnuts, some caramel sweetness, pretty nutty but not overwhelmingly so, fudge brownies, cocoa powder and dough. Taste is fairly sweet, lots of cocoa flavor, good dose of hazelnut but again it’s well balanced compared to other hazelnut beers that I’ve tried, light herbal note in the finish. Mouthfeel is smooth but it’s a hand pump pour, so that’s not a surprise and may not be indicative of the beer served via other methods, lingering light oily feel. Solid beer, lots of cocoa, good nut balance it adds to the whole without taking over.

On draught at City Beer Store. Clear reddish-amber color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Tropical fruit, hops and malt in the nose. Full-bodied with flavors of grapefruit, resiny hops and sweet malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Sample at City Beer Store. Pours brownish-black with a medium tan head that recedes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, bourbon and chocolate. Full-bodied with flavors of charred malt, dark chocolate and bourbon. The finish is mildly boozy with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Good beer overall.

This is a rating for "IMP". There is no ChIMP. Tap at the taproom. Pours "black" with a creamy tan head. Aroma is sort of chocolate treacle. Full bodied. Thick. Rather bitter. Flavor is dark chocolate, dark malt, dark treacle. Very thin alcohol trail. Extremely delicious.
