    Let this warm up a bit and it tastes almost like nothing. I sat in this beer for a while because i just didn't wanna drink it for the . Mild notes of dark fruit and a weird cola flavor is all I'm getting. Would never seek this out or any variants

    Mine last year tasted like a Belgian Stout - I know its brewed with Champagne yeast so maybe thats how it is supposed to taste?

    I'm gonna have to put out an ISO for some Fonta Flora soon. I want their homegrown peanut stouts.

    8% is table beer...not imperial

    Also, I'm more of a tego calderon fan. El Abayarde!

    I've told you this before, "Imperial" starts at 8% ABV. :slight_smile:

    Way back in 2008 I got some of the first batch of Black Magick and it blew my damn doors off. I couldn't believe it but the store was selling them without labels.

    Imprint Beer Company (Hatfield, PA) - Dunks. Imperial Milk Stout brewed with Oreos, 11.5% abv. On nitro draft at the brewery. Nice aroma of milk chocolate, coffee and cream. Similar flavor, not actually that sweet which to me was a good thing. Body could be a little thicker.

    They have a peanut stout in the store right now. They ship in really nice shipping boxes.

    I love their beers but last time I filled my cart the shipping was just too much. I hope to get down there sometime this year and will load up.

    Enjoy

    Would agree with the MIA sweetness @BMBCLT, @Resistance88 might actually like this adjunct "petite" imperial stout! The additions add a nice light touch of flavor to the malt base that is as roasty as Expedition Stout with a lot of hopping to ensure a balanced finish. Love the viscosity for an 8% abv brew!
    Cheers!

    I’m a huge FF fan. I think the only stout I’ve had from them was a coco naughty variant and I was really happy with it. Cheers Tom.
