330ml bottle bought from Lighthouse Wines, Jordanstown
Poured pitch black with no hint of colour even when held up to the light. Dirty nut brown head poured big thick and foamy then faded slowly to decent covering... some decent lines of lacing...
Aroma - Rich roasted and charred dark chocolate maltiness, sweet coffee, lots of treacle and brown sugar sweetness, some sooty like smokiness, some dark fruits (blackcurrents, dates), pine and citric hop notes, toasted (maybe charred ?) fruit loaf, some earthiness, milky notes...
Taste - Sweet dark chocolate, lots of roasted / charred bready malts, barely any alcohol noticeable, treacle and molasses sweetness, dark spicy fruits (raisins, date,some figs), piney and grassy hop bitterness, citrus hints, traces of piney resin, light liquorice, light sourness...
Feel - Fairly smooth and creamy with a little sharpness coming through... fairly full bodied... for a 9% brew this is dangerously drinkable..
Overall - A decent enough Impy stout although there are much better examples... definitely worth a try though...
