It's not as full flavored as your average stout. but the aroma of smokiness is doubled in the taste. It's got character, but it's still just a bit weak. I mean, I don't like imperial stouts, but at least they have the gumpshin to jump with both feet.
It's certainly not the worst beer I've had, but it doesn't really bring anything to the table. I'm not a fan of imperial stout on a good day, but this is weak enough to tolerate. Good thing, too, as the sample pack had three of them.
