Appearance Straight black in color with a dark brown head like the crème you find on top of an espresso shot. The head literally did not go away. It was the last of the tasters and, although they were all poured at the same time, the head was the same when I got to it as it was when the waitress brought it over to my table 20 minutes earlier.
Smell The dark, roasty malts had some good alcohol notes. This is a big nose. The coffee and stale espresso were bitter and inviting.
Taste The alcohol was indeed big at the taste. The dark, roasty malts were incredibly smooth. What a terrific flavor! The raw espresso beans puckered my cheeks. The hops were present as well but lighter than what I remember from drinking the bottle.
Mouthfeel This one is not quite full in the body but its big. The flavors certainly are full. The alcohol sting is hard but makes you want to say thank you, sir, may I have another.
Drinkability This is a must try for any serious Imp Stout fan.
