Our rich, roasted black ale inspired by the strong stouts exported by Great Britain in the 1800's to the Russian Czar's court.

[1] Review by Clash from Chattanooga, TN, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/27/2008 10:05:55 PM)
"This poured a solid black color with a moderate to large tan head. The aroma contains coffee, chocolate, tobacco, licorice, and a hint of alcohol. The flavor is rather sweet with coffee, chocolate, and some dark fruits. The finish is slightly bitter. Overall this was a well balanced and awesome impy stout. "

"04.16.05 Brewtopia ’05, Draught. Now this stuff was great! Maple-black pour; dark brown head. Choco-roaty with much pitch, caramelized fig. Unctuous as a beer can be. Really sweet on first sip, settles in to chocolate and roast - sharp hop bite to finish. Excellent balance, . Really thick. Very tasty."

[4] Review by JohnC from Mission Viejo, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/9/2005 11:19:08 PM)
"2005 Bottle
Pours blackish with a thin cocoa-puff colored head.
The aroma is a bit subdued: a hint of malt & chocolate
When I took a sip, I initially got a tart taste on the tip of my tongue, which I didn't like. Otherwise, it was dry, roasty w/ a clean finish. "

[5] Review by jde123 from Philadelphia, PA, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/4/2005 5:28:27 PM)
"On tap at Blind Tiger in NYC. Pours very black with a thin white head. Enjoyable aroma and taste, espresso chocolate, all the good stuff one expects in a notworthy imperial stout. Almost too heavy for a spring evening, but I was the one who ordered it. Very good, very enjoyable. Recommended."
