Bottle from a trade with Grumbo, thanks! Aroma is roasted malt, strong liquorice, a little smokiness, burnt caramel, with a touch of dark cocoa and coffee. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Bit too heavy on the liquorice and burnt notes for my taste.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a dark brown with moderate sized beige head, nice lacing. Aroma of chocolate, liquorice, boozed up fruit cake. Taste of fruit cake soaked in alcohol, chocolate, herbs. It goes slightly beyond a treat into something touching chemical although not so much as to be awful. Medium to full bodied. Its ok but not great for a 6.6% stout.

Thin beige head on a light brown body - looks thin. Berry, malt & toffee aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharper back. Malt, burnt toffee, roasted, spices & bitter hop tastes. Not really any Imperial Stout but drinkable.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - milk chocolate with a slightly farmyard thing going on. Taste - burnt toast and chocolate. Boozy. Burnt again on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a long dry crunchy finish. Overall - decent but a bit gnarly.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs Beer Festival 2016. Black dark ruby colour lasting beige head. Not much carbonation too much liquorice for me. Yep struggling to drink it. I get these beers at this festival sometimes that are find but make me gag. Just not for me.

Cask at the Reindeer - Norwich. Pours clear reddish brown with a bubbly tan head. Semi-ripe dark fruits in the nose, some toasty bread. Medium sweet flavor with some boozy accents, scorched earth bitterness, baking cocoa, dried and leathery berries. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish with nips of alcohol, ash, burnt toast, bittersweet chocolate, earth. Given the ABV, there’s really not a lot to this one.
