Bacon aroma - gentle sweet burnt coffee or mocha aroma. Fantastic smooth palate - literally silky. Taste follows the aroma. Lovely strong but well balanced burnt taste - though the burntness is in places a bit astringent - but with enough of a malty body and hoppy bitter edge to keep it interesting.

330ml bottle, Kaisla, Helsinki.
Massively walnutty aroma. Soft palate. Big nutty taste. Very smooth. Full bodied. A touch of toffee nut, some tingles of spice.

Oct 15, 2007 Updated: Aug 25, 2008 Cask conditioned at Oxford Beer Festival 12-10-07 Poured jet black, with tan head. aroma of coffee, some raisins and a hint of cocoa. this was rather intense in flavour loads of dark fruits vying for attention with some coffee and just about everything else that’s in there but like Doppelganger (previous rater) who I think is spot on, it’s just a bit too much it may well be better bottled and left to age for a while. It also pretty much knackered my next beer. Had this again In field at Towersey Festival, Oxon, w/e 20th-25th August 08 The strength is really quite apparent but there are plenty of hops and lovely roasted malts leap into the afray, some bitter coffee at rear of mouth, nice beer and I’ve upped the rating from 3.4 to 3.6.

Dark brown colour with pale brown head. Good hoppy in great balance with the maltiness, that stands back just a bit. Good bitterness that lasts long. Not very dark in flavour profile.

Oct 17, 2007 Bottle (330ml) shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a very dark brown with red hues and a small diminishing tan head. Aroma and flavour of roasted malt, coffee and hops. Some chocolate and a nice bitter finish to the dry flavour. Alcohol’s well hidden. Medium bodied. A simple yet pleasant Impy Stout, very good stuff.
