Hazy golden color. Dry American Pale Ale, with some hop quality, a bit musky, but more could be done here.
Good beer, not surprises.

Draught at Apex, Portland, nitro tap
Light amber color, clean, with the classic nitro head. It has some animal character (aroma and flavor), light hemp; there are also some other good hop characteristic, less malt presence, but it suffers because of lack of carbonation. The final is a bit papery.
Stop nitro!

Bottle from Beer Monger, Portland, corked and caged; vintage 2014
Pitch black color, thick, with small brown head. The aroma is initially mild, but then it starts developing interesting waves of dark chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, cookies. Full bodied, yet the mouthfeel is lean, sweet in moderation; the flavor is dominated by the dark chocolate, almost to De Molen levels, the roasted malt is present but not ashy; there is just a bit more liquorice than necessary, a hint of dark fruits, a bit more bourbon barrel; while getting warmer, this beer gratifies the palate with multiple layers of flavor and some tobacco and leather; strong bitterness, with a nice pungency in the final, including a touch of anchor peppers.
Great beer, a real pleasure.

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of green veg/hop and light fruits. Med + body. Flavor is dankish with crazy fruits and some supporting caramel. It’s mosaic, but has lots of citrus too. Some quaffs make me think of sliced cactus. Very strongly flavored without a hint of heat. Very, very hoppy and tasty. Not to mention nicely bitter.

Draft - Peach and pear. Clearish gold with a small whitehead. Funky light fruit with a touch of tartness. Nose really brings out the fruit, a little hard to place in the taste.

Part of blind tasting BA Imperial Stout tasting.
Good name for a beer of this type. This came off to me as the most prototypical of the BA Impy Stouts. I got the most alcohol of all the other beers. Also, had a bit of an apple juice character, very light.

Bottle sample @ ACBF’15 courtesy of 77ships. Brune foncée, noire, col blanc-cassé. Arôme est généreux au niveau des malts avec un agréable bouquet Bourbon qui procure d’intenses effluves de vanille et un léger rétro boisé finement épicé et venant peut-être du seigle? Palais est également à l’honneur pour les malts, notes de Bourbon et vanille. Petite touche terreuse et pas mal de chaleur. Reste une bière très correcte, un stout comme les américains en ont le secret et qui mise pas mal sur sa base maltée. Cette dernière fonctionne superbement avec la barrique.
