alohakoa59 - March 27, 2014First reaction will be vinegar but not in a bad way. This is definitely a sour type beer. Also definitely have it with Apple pie ala mode!!!


bier30 - March 14, 2014Big, bold, some sweet, high alc 11%, can taste some alc in finish, very rich and rugged. Tasty, but hi alcohol.


wesleyboston930@yahoo.com - March 11, 2014I don't get it! Horrible nose and tasted like a stale Oreo




kopextacy - February 12, 2014Definitely a 5 star beer, but I personally prefer the alesmith speedway stout. This was a bit more bitter and I personally have a preference for the slightly sweet imperials. I also must say lagunitas imperial stout stands up to both in my opinion and is under 5 bucks. Don't know how they do it. Regardless however if you can get your hands on this stuff it's definitely worth a try and lives up to the hype.


specksofdust - January 27, 2014Complex, full, good flavor at every end. Got lucky and found it on tap barrel aged on my birthday.


dkrenik - January 27, 2014Frothy tan head that lingers. Opaque black hue. Roasted malt and coffee aromas. Big, bold flavors echo the nose. Full bodied with ample carbonation. Nice find.


web - January 13, 2014Quite complex. Appears Very dark, light brown foam that fades quickly. Aroma is light and sweet and misleading. Flavor is dark and fruity and sweet and bourbony with dark roasted coffee aftertaste. Recommend Anderson Valley Wild Turkey Barrel Aged Bourbon Barrel Stout as a much friendlier, NON-Imperial alternative with more mellowness and more bourbon. Rated this 3.5 for me, but 4.0 for an Imperial Stout.
