Green Man Imperial Stout from a large shared bottle.

Rich ... very rich with mainly dark roasted malt.
Lacks complexity but not intensity. Good balance.

Wow, what a knockout beer. Poured from a nitro tap, this dark rich beauty is a perfect nightcap.

Beautiful cascading 1 finger head of tan foam.

Smells of dark chocolate, dark roasted grains, coffee, a touch of smoke, and a hint of unrefined sweetness.

Taste is stellar. the stout is exceptionally smooth, with the intense bitter dark chocolate flavors marrying well with the sweet coffee and smoke.

Mouthfeel was perfect. Straight up 5/5.

Overall, an imperial stout that I wished I could drink more of, but had to drive.

black, with a huge cream colored head, that took a long while to settle down. Lace made the glass opaque, this was definatly fresh! Smell was of rosted malts with a hint of coffee. The taste was great. Roasted coffee and malts, very nice, slight hop is the back, and the taste lingered, deep dark chocolate with, a bit of caramel, very nicely done. The mouthfeel was almost perfect for a stout. Thick, nicely carbonated, smooth delivery and just great. I could really drink this all the time,

Served from tap into a shaker. Poured basically black with a one finger light khaki head that subsided to a minimal amount very slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, earthy notes, and chocolate. The flavor was of sweet malt, caramel, chocolate, and earthy notes. It had a medium feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Ovearll thie was a pretty good brew. However, the flavors seemed a little watered-down/muted in here in my opinion. The flavors were quite good, just not robust at all unfortunately. The aroma was also weak in intensity as well. This one could use some more intensity and it would be quite excellent. As it sits now, it is worth trying at least once, but that is about it.

Tried this for the first time on a day trip to Asheville, NC when a friend and I happened to stumble upon Jack of the Woods after we found out The Thirsty Monk was not open for lunch and we needed a place to grab some food. I am a huge fan of Imperial Stouts and am always game to try any and all I can find. So when our server told us that Green Man had just kegged their winter seasonal Imperial Stout and they had hooked the keg up that morning we decided we would definitely have to give it a try. Pours a thick, rich black and taste of chocolate, mocha and coffee. The ABV is well above the 5.7% listed as I was told closer to the 9-9.5% range by our server and the folks at the brewery when I picked up a growler to take back home.

Pours a jet black with a half inch mocha head that somewhat stuck around with great lacing. The smell was bourbon booze with some roasty malts. The taste is chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, a little hoppy with a very strong bite. This one was very creamy and thick which I love in a Impy Stout. The drinkability is also very good. Another reviewer says this is bigger than the ABV listed and it doesn't seem like it is. I love this and glad unclejedi sent it to me.
