A nice solid black color with a decent dirt colored head. Has a solid chocoffe aroma to it and follows with teh same in the medium body. I enjoyed it.

dark but not 100% opaque; very little head..vert faint chocolate and port wine aromas...subtle chocolate flavors, but seriously, this has the complexity of the movie "daddy day care" and i didnt even see that movie. Very weak palate for an imperial...maybe some grassy bitterness in the background...but seriously, imperial stouts need to be complex.

Black color. Medium Head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee. Medium bodied Imperial Stout. Malts are choclately with a touch of coffee. Hops are drying and slightly spicy. This is really more of a dry stout than an imperial, the body is a little thinner and it finishes very dry. Smooth taste, with no touch of alcohol bite. Touches of wood and smoke at the finish, Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

This imperial stout pours with a black body topped by a medium thick, brown head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is slightly seet and malty yet bitter and roasty with slight licorice notes and a hint of chocolate. The flavor is bitter yet sweet, roasty and coffeeish one minute, then full of anise the next. The finish is chocolatey and roasty. Full bodied, smooth and warming.
