| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 13, 2007 Cask conditioned at Oxford Beer Fest ’07. Black with slight tan head. Looking like crude oil in a glass, this is a big thick sweet, fruity beer with a touch of cough medicine in the background. Blackberry and a hint of banana, I couldn’t get too far beyond the sweetness. Tricky for a beer fest because it stays in the mouth for some time. kkearn (1014), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 7, 2008 25.4oz bottle, batch 001. Poured deep reddish brown with a moderate sized tan head. Aroma of liquorice, roasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is sweet chocolate malt at first, which is then joined by citric hops. Finish is fairly bitter, with an ashy/salty mouthfeel. tupalev (2618), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Pitch black, small off-white head. Mild roast aroma. Good roast taste, almost tartness if that makes any sense - there is just that much roast. Slight acidity. Full flavoured and bodied with a hint of chocolate. I liked it, but because of the overwhelming roast (and maybe because of the quality of other impy’s we had at this session) it did not really make that leap from good to great.
