Pours a rich red colour, quite cloudy. Head is off-white, fairly dense. Nice lace. Looks pretty good.

It smells roasted, with toffee, slightly oxidised spice - bit of aniseed as well, yeah it is OK.

Tastes malty, with notes of toffee. Gets resinous hops midway, touch of oxidation as well. Decent 'English' character notes, bit of spice at the back, fennel with white pepper. Not bad, but pretty bland for something calling itself an 'imperial red ale'.

Decent body, maybe a bit full. Dry at the back but yeah seems almost sticky.

Decent red ale. Lacks the imperiousness expected though.
