Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 8
330ml bottle [#3/528]. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, very small, frothy to creamy, rapidly diminishing, barely lacing, tan head. BA supported, roasty, chocolately and slightly spicy, dark malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, notes of dark toffee, dark chocolate, some liquorice, vanilla, whisky, a touch of dark caramel, whiffs of leather, peat. Taste is roasty, slightly spicy, dark malty, slightly caramel malty with low residual sweetness, minimally alcoholic, minimally metallic-mineral, hints of liquorice, iron, BA notes of whisky, peat, leather, a touch of vanilla, salt, weak, fruity-alcoholic overtones with a touch of plum wine, dried dark fruit.
Surprisingly light body and rather watery (or dissolved sugar enriched and simultaneously alcohol thinned, eventually watery) texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, slightly scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
Some nice subtleties but overall not the most complex Impy Stout, somehow concentrated but seemingly light - an uncomplicated, enjoyable "higher speed" sipper.
