Bottled - GBBF2007. A black coloured stout with a lovely beige head. The aroma is very big with fruity hoppy notes. An inviting aroma with alcohol notes. The taste is roasty and oily. Hoppy and malty. Great alcohol, I am stunned this is only 6.5%. It has lots of body and is very tasty. My beer of the festival.

Oct 10, 2008 Murky dark brown pour with some dark cream head. Some roast coffee and malt aromas. Smooth with a small amount of carbonation. Roasty, mocha, a little sweet malt, coffee. Clean finishing. Med/full bodied. The lower abv definetely makes this a non-standard Imperial. It’s less edgy, but very drinkable and very good. This might even be a little under rated.

Sep 30, 2008 This black pour with a mocha top smells of rich roasted malt with tons of sweet chocolate. Equally sweet in taste but it does not go watery like some stouts. It holds its own with a nice crisp bite. It has a practically non existent finish.
