Pours a nice deep oily black with a lasting thin tan-orange head. Aorma is tons of deep toasted and charred mals, along with a good amount of bourbon and chocolate malt- lots of coffee packed in as well. Chocoalte flavro upfront with more charr and roast in the middle- bourbon vanilla, coffee and a dry nuttiness in the end- some tar and licorice notes as is warmed up a bit. Pretty smooth overall and a very complex interested Impy stout. I liked it. TimE (1368), Tokyo, Japan
