This beer pours a slightly hazy yellow-gold color with a medium white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing on the glass. Fruit, wheat and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly funky citrus, herbal yeast and malt. The finish is fruity with a citrus and yeast aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle at Cedar Point Served at "room temperature" which was about 85 degrees today. Someone told the server that thats how a porter is served and thats what she believes. I tried and failed to convince her otherwise. Solid black with a huge bubbly tan head that took forever to pour looks infected or over carbonated, but luckily it was neither. Rich caramel and chocolate notes with some solid earth to counter. Tasty.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours fairly crystal clear reddish brown color with a 2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, lemon/orange peel, pine, caramel, chocolate, cocoa, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate roast/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, lemon/orange peel, pine, caramel, chocolate, cocoa, toasted dark bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus peel and roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, lemon/orange peel, pine, chocolate, cocoa, toasted dark bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate roast/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness; that increases through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky, and fairly creamy/grainy/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.75%. Overall this is an awesome black IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate roast/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

22 oz Bottle shared by Willrunforbeer, awesome! Ticking some Impy stouts!!! No bottle but it was pulled from Willrunforbeer’s cellar. Aroma is. Burnt sugar, molasses, raisins, mild roast.
The flavor has burnt grain, burnt coffee. Bitter chocolate. Way more bitterness than should be here. Not sure if age has anything slightly off with this.mThe body and texture is also on the thin side. I just have a very high standard for imperial stout. This doesn’t really meet it.
