Being from Belgium, I could not help but try to recognize this typical yeast smell. It sure felt like a taste from home, a beer I had tried before. The smell reminded me of the Barbar beer brewed nearby my own town. Red Sky offers a little fizzy/creamy aftertaste that’s actually very nice on the palate. Honey and a sugary taste are present in this beer. Pours a golden colorwith a thick creamy head. It is a very god addition to the Heavy Seas treasure chest. I was very impressed by it.

Pours a muddy brown with a beige head that leaves a fairly good amount of lacing. Carmely aroma with malts and all that nice stuff. Taste is hoppy, sweet, caramely, with a bitter finish. I got some molasses at the front. Texture is a little syrupy.

Nice play on words. Friendly, rather sweet aroma. Very strong taste impact of alky and alky. Color of dark iced tea. Pretty difficult to swallow at times for a lager lover. Finish is cough medicine but in an almost good way. Nothing near the refined attitudes you get from real belgie dubbels.

Bottle. Appearance out of the bottle looks more like cola than an Imperial Stout. Thin and dark with a fizzy head. Aromas are almost non-existent... dark malt, but not much else. Flavor is sweet to the point of cloying with little support from ABV or roasty malt to help things balance out. I think that this is possibly the worst Impy Stout I’ve tried to date... then again, there’s always another shot tomorrow.

Bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pours a golden straw color with a medium head. Good lacing and retention. Big malt aroma with Belgian yeast, red apple and spice. Taste has very little sourness or bitterness, and is almost cloyingly sweet.

12oz bottle thanks to Acknud for this one. Pours out a clear brown topped with almost no head. A nice aroma of sweet pit fruit and light hop. Tast of light malt more of that pit fruit and a touch of hops. Not to bad.
