Growler from the brewpub. Poured a dark purplish-brown color with a thick light-brown head. Strong lacing. Nice aroma with a blend of roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. Flavor is smooth, with a nice malt taste and a coffee-like finish. A very nice offering from Barley's.

Poured very dark as expected and had a very rich robust nut/coffee flavor that did not disapoint me at all. It simply went down great. I was pleasantly surprised that this brew was a 9.1 % abv, since it did not overwelm me with an alcohol aroma at all. Mouthfeel had a strong robust coffee and slight nutmeg flavor that lasted for a while. This stout was absolutely wonderful with my meal. I'll have it again for sure.

This is a nice Imperial with a strong aroma of nuts, coffee, and some hints of grass. It pours dark tan, fairly light overall. It has a nice mouthfeel, with just a slightly bitter aftertaste. A good imperial from one of my favorite places to stop in Columbus for a good beer.

Black body, tan head. Nice cocoa powder aroma. Body is med/light for an imperial. Flavor is cocoa & bittersweet chocolate. Thx hopsrus
