Deep brown Imperial embeds syrupy malt resin into rich barley-hop roast. Not nearly as heavy or mocha-like as better stouts, and thus, lacking a thorough finish and sturdy distinction. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Lactic ebony-hued full body imparts exceptional hop-charred roasted coffee bean bitterness. Nutty coffee theme nearly overwhelms finely bittersweet creme de cacao, burnt caramel, and tar-like molasses latency. Milky cappuccino and black espresso eruption sidle ice coffee finish of rich, creamy aggressor. Black cherry-pureed hazelnut and vanilla bean illusions bounce around back end. Anyone for a coffee-flavored chocolate milkshake?

Copious sugary chocolate sweetness and creamy lactose aggression infiltrate limited edition single batch ‘100 barrel series’ invigoration. Clean water flow depletes some cocoa bittering and burnt caramel residual, but milky coffee segment brings enough oomph to mocha finish to please robust thirsts.

A true first! A metal-canned Imperial Stout with all the expectant viscous tar-like thickness and hefty 10% alcohol intensity needed to please connoisseurs. Reminiscent of molasses-sapped milkshake on sweet side and burnt espresso on bitter end, tan-headed mahogany-hued full body latently drops tobacco chew, sticky anise, and cocoa powder illusions atop charcoal-smoked flaked oats.
