750ml bottle from the brewery pouring a dark brown colour with hardly any highlights. The mocha-coloured head stays long enough to excite and leave a thick creamy coat around the brew. Oh my! The smell starts off nicely with the blend of things in here. A light blueberry fruitiness over the roasted malts with coffee, coconut and spices. The mouthfeel shows the warming heat of the chipotle. A roasted barley base with such a nice mix of flavours that expecting rich, sweetness, but with the heat, saltiness lingering, then blueberry hints. Still getting some coconut, even though not showing in here. Just a really good warming Impy Stout on this really cold night. Just what I needed.
