Brewed smooth and creamy by the addition of oatmeal, we also used pounds and pounds of Costa Rican coffee, cold pressing it, down to 10 gallons of goodness. Rich and full-bodied, lots of roasted malt, floral hops and oh yes ... coffee, come through on the palate.
Beer Ratings and Reviews:
[1] Review by Cybercat from Atlanta, GA, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (9/2/2007 4:50:44 PM)
"This looks exactly the way a stout should - opaque sable color with a thick tan head that dissipates slowly. Aroma has strong coffee overtones with burnt or smoky hints. Burnt coffee flavor dominates the taste, but the classic stout flavor comes through. It is almost like drinking spiked, cold coffee rather than beer. This is a good after-dinner drink."

[2] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:20:09 AM)
"A very tasty beer, although it tasted more like a coffee dry stout than an imperial stout. I won’t hold that against it. Nice roastiness and a bit of chocolate from the malt and a very fresh, well-roasted coffee aroma and flavor. The body is very dark and the head is a nice creamy tan. The body is full enough, but not too full."

[3] Review by Clash from Chattanooga, TN, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/24/2005 1:30:08 AM)
"This one poured a dark black with a tan head. The aroma was smoke and coffee. This was a bit drier than other Impy stouts Ive had. The flavor is coffee all day with a hint of dark chocolate. A nice beer indeed. "
