Poured from a 500 ml bottle.
Aroma is dark chocolate, dark caramel, roast, treacle and toffee with lighter molasses and burnt sugar. Hints of soy sauce and dark fruits. Light bourbon, cognac and faint oak notes. Medium alcohol notes.
Pours jet back with a small, thick, mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges and disappears. No lacing and sheets for legs.
Flavor is fairly sweet with lots of chocolate, treacle, roast, dark caramel and dark toffee. Moderately high bitterness and moderate alcohol notes. Light bourbon and cognac notes with a bit of oak.
Mouthfeel is full bodied and a bit silky with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and moderate alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid BA imperial stout. Nice bourbon and cognac notes, albeit light. Good malt profile and a bit of bitterness to balance out the malt sweetness. Good, but there are definitely better stouts out there for the price.
