I got this on growler from cellarbrations carlisle and its an imperial amber which pours a dark amber hue with lacing everywhere,the smell is cherries,toffee malts,candy and ripe fruit,the mouthfeel is full bodied with minimal carbonation and tastes of cherries,toffee malts,stewed plums,candy,a touch of liquorice and finished with a sherbet bittersweetness and overall its nice and malty and easy to drink but no worldbeater cheers.

On-tap at the GABS festival in Melbourne.
Pours a reddish amber hue with some mild hazing. Head is off-white forming a firm ring that leaves no lacing. Minimal carbonation. Perhaps the most disappointing part is the body, which looks really surprisingly thin for its ABV. Hrmm...
Slight sweet hops on the nose, with some faint peachy aromas or sweet orange. There's a hint of greenness to it as well and a bit of spice. Overall, it flirts with a number of different hop characteristics, but doesn't embrace any of them.
Light crystal sweetness on the front palate leads to some crisp, lightly carbonic characters part way through. There's a greenness again, but it's another pretty generic character. Back is empty, like all the characters deserted it without really thinking about it. The only exception is a slight resinous buildup of bitterness on the back which becomes more prominent over time.
Feel is particularly light: it really needs more.
Overall, no it's not a bad beer. But MP do much better than this, so I found this something of a disappointment.
