An imperial stout made from fine English roasted barley and aged on whole coffee beans to give it full, dry roasted flavor. Rich chocolate, caramel and Munich malts round out the flavor profile.

12oz can. Poured out an opaque, jet-black color with a small, light brown head of foam. It smelled of coffee, dark chocolate and toffee. Nice roasted coffee taste with chocolate, toffee and a subtle bitterness.

Imperial Stout with coffee: pours dark with light head, and leaves a nice lacing from start to finish. Virtually no sweetness to this brew, but a nice lingering coffee and roasted malt influence. This beer is more complex than reviewed here, which is revealed as it warms. A lot going on worth noting. Impressive late Fall and Winter offering.

12oz can - no date.
Black with a 1/2" tan head on top. Retains well at 1/4" and leaves a webby lace behind.
Big coffee hit in the nose straight away followed by roasted malt, cocoa and molasses.
Earthy coffee is the dominant flavor. Dark and roasty.
Smooth, velvety mouthfeel, not as big as expected for an I.S. low carbonation is right. Finishes dry.
Good, a little one dimensional but good.

Pours to a rich creamy dark head and opaque black color. Aroma is roasted barley, vanilla, molasses, cocoa, licorice. Flavor is a bit harsh and boozy but brings lots of roast and maltiness and is balanced. Mouthfeel is a bit rough. Coffee is in the aftertaste only. A decent beer, well made with no major flaws but does not stand out much.
