Bottle on the bus during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours clear brown with a creamy, tan head. Sugary, with some dark malt character, chocolate, dark fruits. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet in the finish with light woody notes, raisins, figs. Not bad on the whole.

Bottle split in the fart dungeon, thanks to Beau, 29/01/16. Black with a decent tan head. Nose is bourbon barrel, dark fruit rinds, chocolate, malt, light spice. Taste comprises rich malt, toffee fudge, chocolate, light barrel. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a nip of alcohol. Respectable enough impy.
