Impressionism is an Imperial Stout brewed with chocolate, roasted, and belgian caramel malts. Also, we added small amounts of molasses and maple syrup to lend complexity and depth to this bold-flavored offering. It pours pitch black in the glass and presents with robust imperial stout flavors and aromas of dark chocolate and caramel, with more subtle notes of crème brûlée, molasses, maple syrup, plum, and fig. Impressionism offers tremendous depth and enjoyment across the spectrum as it is allowed to warm in the glass. When kept cold, this beer will evolve and develop in the can for up to six months. It is a perfect, warming beer to cozy up with next to the fire after a big holiday meal. Enjoy!

Glowing polished black marble with a thick tan head settling to a creamy collar and roiling center.
The full round body has a crisp then softening froth that features a malt which begins tangy and almost fruity. This matures quickly into deeper tones of tobacco, smoke, nutty chocolate and cocoa powder. Faint but sweet dark fruit and molasses come out towards the tingly, semi-dry finish. Peanut butter wafer develops as it warms.
An imperial, non-milk, non-flavored stout by Tree House, that doesn't suck? I'll take it!

Pours opaque, dark brown in color with 1/3 inch head. Taste is dark and sweet chocolate, dark roast coffee and butterscotch pudding. Heavy bodied, sweet and roasty, with moderate carbonation. Makes for a good sweet stout. Not as many bells and whistles as many of their milk stouts but still a quality beer. Well made but not one I would drive up for.
