Pour is a copper with a large fluffly white head. Aroma is a sweet malt with a bit of hops and alcohol. Flavor is of course brown sugar with some citrus and molasses. Alcohol is there in a big way. Still this is just alright not really a barley wine. Good enough to try just once.

Pour is a thick looking cola brown with almost no head. Aroma is decent with some roasted malts and a whiff of hops. Flavor is a bit weaker than the flavor. Some weak chocolate and malts but the hops are what stands out. Finish is a bit weak with a touch of alcohol on the palate. Average for a Impy.

A large, creamy, light brown head forms easily over this dark amber brew. The aroma is fruity, with caramel and citrus hops. The flavor is a mix of light sweetness tempered by an earthy hop bitterness.

Pour is of course copper with a thin white head. Aroma is a mix of caramel malts and hops. Flavor is a bit weaker than the aroma but there are some hops and malts that come out. Very bitter and leaves a caramel on the tounge. Prob not the best of the style but kinda tasty.

Pour is orange with a small white head that thined out to large bubbles. Aroma is a nice helping of pine/citrus hops. Very clean and refreshing. Flavor is also a very nice crisp hop with a malty biscutness. Looks great smells better and taste even better. No real alcohol presence but I know its there. Pretty darn good beer.

Imperial stout? I’ve seen brown ales that allow less light through them - lightly spicy aroma (cinnamon, nutmeg), with hints of milk chocolate, burnt coffee - thin body/mouthfeel - a light milky sweetness - some strange, bright, berry-like fruity esters - fairly high bitterness on the back end - not true to style at all, which isn’t really bad, but regardless of what this beer is trying to be, it just isn’t all that impressive.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy orangish amber with a small thin quick white head. Mild hop aroma and mostly sweet light malts. Some citrus as well. Flavor is fairly bitter but not much hop flavor. Malts are not quite up to the task of ballancing this brew. Lively carbonation and a short lived but fairly harsh bitter trailer. A bit dissapointing. . Thanks to pinkzambia for sharing this one.
