Supposedly an 'imperial brown', brewed for GABS 2013. Tried there on tap.

Pours a deep mahogany colour, not quite dark brown but with a bit of cloud to prevent too much light through. Cream-coloured head, bubbly but sticking around well. Looks pretty nice.

Smells fairly roasty. Coffee notes with a touch of burnt sugar plus some faint hints of spice. Nice roast, some coffee notes. Standard, but good, brown ale aroma.

Taste is quite sweet, particularly upfront with a decent residual sugar note. Develops more standard roast characters towards the back, with a touch of espresso. Good counterbalancing act but remains fairly sweet throughout.

Body is quite thin and there's a touch of dry booze warmth on the back. Bit meh.

Decent brown; not really tasting all that imperial, but good characters. Reliable beer from a reliable brewery.
