May 15, 2008 Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival. The body is dark as pitch with only a few bubbles on the surface. Rather zestful and smoky aroma. In-depth flavour of dark chocolate and liquorice blended by dark fruits. Progressive bitterness with alcohol shining through. Dusty mouthfeel (sampled with Finn, 02.05.2008).

Oct 15, 2008 The base for all of the barrel aged imperial stouts. Pours very dark brown, close to black, with a smooth tan head. Big dark chocolate character, very smooth palate, dry finish. Overall a really nice imperial stout and the perfect base for their barrel experiments. This is one of the few non-barrel beers I thought were worth their price, very well built and solid imperial stout.

Nov 10, 2007 Bottle. Deep dark brown, almost black with a small beige head. Vanilla, chocolate and espresso nose. Earthy notes as well. Nice woody chocolate, earthy character, good balance. A great complex brew, for dedicated beer dogs!

Jun 1, 2008 "341." Thanks, Thewolf! Clearly they have the american market at least somewhat in mind if they’re filling true 12-oz blanks rather than 330s...or maybe I just like to read into things. :-)
Black. Thin off-white foamy head. Sugary, rather molassesy nose. Nice creamy body on the high side of medium. Rich roasty sweet mid-palate. Big charcoal near the finish.

Nov 30, 2008 Pours a clear dark walnut brown, moderate tan coloured head. Very roasty aroma, chocolate, dark caramel. Burnt malt, dark caramel, coffee and chocolate, medium bodied. Very bitter, reedy finish. More like a foreign stout than an impy IMO, but decent nonetheless.

Feb 5, 2009 Courtesy of THE tpd975. Pours deep brown with amber edges and almost no head. The aroma is roasty malts, mild wood and smoke to go along with a pulse of vanilla. The taste is roasty moving toward burnt malts and then into wood and mild smoky peatiness. Pretty nice stuff. It thins out into the finish. Starts bold and then finishes with smooth and light lingering notes of wood, peat, smoke and molasses.

Jan 14, 2008 Bottled. Pitch pour with ruby edges, and filthy caramel suds receding to a slick. Charred malt aroma wafting with bitter choc, liquorice, smoke and brine. Brackish and yeasty like a Baltic Porter, but the flavour is bittersweet, chunkily smooth, biting with cocoa and lingering smoke, and leaning towards America. Delicious impy.
