A banging Imperial Stout brewed with prunes, vanilla, and habanero chillies.

Taste: Dark chocolate and dried prunes come out first, followed by a strong Turkish coffee and stewed blackcurrant jam. Vanilla supports, followed by a long, lingering — BÄNG — from the chilli. Just enough to shock your tastebuds and leave you wanting more.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Mitch. Pours oily black-brown with a small,McKay beige head. The aroma holds strong chocolate, dried berries, soft roast. Medium to big sweet flavour with more rich, sugary chocolate, oily vanilla, chewy raisins, understated chili heat. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish from both the booze and the chili, some marshmallows, milk chocolate, toffee, raisins. Heavy duty stuff. Quite fun in small doses.

Draft. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, dark chocolate, roasted malt, and vanilla. The flavor is very sweet with notes of vanilla, chili, cocoa, roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.

Bottle. Black color with beige head. Aroma is mineralic, prunes, vanilla, some chili/pepper flavours, chocolate, ethanol. Taste is vanilla, prunes, sweet chocolate, just a touch of chili in the back. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation. Extremely sweet, but somehow works.

Bottle from the dregs run. Cheers Stuu! Pours oily near-black with no real head. Looks viscous though. Aromas of dark chocolate, vanilla, something almost Christmas-sy about the spicing. Some coffee and toffee on the taste. Rich, oily texture. Light spice linger.

33cl bottle at home. Pitch black pour with a thin tan head. Notes of roasted coffee, dried fruit (prunes, raisins), sweet vanilla, light cocoa, toffee, caramel, with a moderate chilli bite in the back of the mouth. A bit too sweet and cloying.
