Our John By Imperial Stout is so deep brown in colour you might as well say it is black. This ale's powerful malt flavour is not overwhelmed by its' alcohol content. Just in time to ward off the cold of a Canadian winter.

[1] Review by Skanadian from Hamilton/Peterborough, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/19/2008 9:02:17 PM)
"Black as motor oil with a finger of tan head. Too bad it doesn't stick around too long. Sweet chocolate and malt aroma, quite appealing but not powerful. The mouthfeel is silky and thick, coating your mouth and allowing the awesome semi-sweet cocoa-coffee-licorice flavour to shine. Balanced to perfection. Yum yum, I must find this again."

[2] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/27/2008 11:13:39 PM)
"It comes in a cute little bottle. But it has a great deal of flavour. It pours a deep deep black with no light passing through. The head is tan coloured, and lasts a while. The aroma is dark chocolate malt, caramel, plums, and brown sugar. The flavour is very chocolatey. This beer is actually very light and went down easy. An excellent beer."

[4] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (1/25/2008 1:51:38 AM)
"Was surprised to see this one at the LCBO, in a single stubbie. Glad to see more and more of Scotch Irish brews there. This one pours an almost black colour with very little red highlights. The head is nice and foam-creamy with a light brown colour to it. Retention is decent, but not much lacing come out of this one. A beautiful smell of coffee and roasted malt appears at first, but then, the scent turns into a rusty water one (I guess it is the hop sticking out). The mouthfeel is pretty flat (did not hear the normal sound as I popped the cap), but had a nice thickness to it. Very well hidden alcohol, with the taste of plums, chocolat, roasted malt, some candy... but very well-balanced, not to be too sweet, nor too bitter, but yet, still very tasty and drinkable. This one grew on me, as I drank it."

[5] Review by Beerhawk from Sackville NB, Canada who has tried this beer once. (1/7/2008 10:38:07 AM)
"A very solid solid beer. Nice aroma and great deep dark apperance. Nice tannish head. Nice attack, very solid with hints of coffee and a fairly bitter finish but still drinakable. Very nice, able to challenge the best from the Mother Country."
