330ml bottle bought online from Ales By Mail

Poured jet black - nothing gets through even when held up to the light. Dark dirty brown head poured thick and foamy then faded to nice thickish covering... very faint lacing...

Aroma - Lots of roasted chocolate malts, some milk chocolate, oats, light blackcurrent and black cherry notes, cocoa, leathery, woody, some faint vanilla traces, light spicy hops, burnt sugar...

Taste - Lots of creamy chocolate and dark coffee to the fore, roasted malts, faint smokey notes, some liquorice, some peppery hops, nutty, light molasses sweetness, some faint black cherry notes but nowhere near as much as i would have liked...

Feel - Very smooth and creamy with just a little sharpness after... full bodied... very drinkable for 9%

Overall - A pretty good impy stout but it could definitely have done with more black cherries... worth a try though
