Almond is a little absent. Coconut and roast. A fair amount of sweet booze. Caramel. Not super balanced. Don't love. Oily consistency. Bottle from brewery.

A deep dark stout with no head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with loads of Nutella, vanilla, alcohol warmth, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with loads of vanilla, coffee crisp, oily mouth feel, light coconut, very nice. Bottle at DLD 2019.

Bomber - completely pitch black. Total oil look. No head. Smells fantastic. Vanilla is very strong. Dense coats the tongue with whiskey and vanilla bean. Milk chocolate cocoa.

Bottle from a trade. About a year old. Aroma is mild bourbon, almond, chocolate, and some oak. Flavor is rich and decadent. Coconut is subtle. Oily texture, full mouthfeel, no Booze. Wow, the liquid Mounds candy bar works with it being cloying. Really good.

Dark brown, not much head. This has a deep rich burnt toffee aroma, nice toasted coconut and almond note. This is rich coconut, lots of toasted almond, and a big rich body, with all kinds of sticky, rich toffeeish malts. Super rich desserty, with a bit of alcohol in the finish. Rich, delicious and complex. Excellent stuff. Love it.

Sergey's hunt at Oakes Manor
Oily black colour with no head. The aroma is a bit metallic, roasted almonds, touch of ashes. Full bodied, thick and extremely sweet; wonderful malts, chocolate dominates, strong roasted coconut and toasted nuts, strong vanilla too, hint of tar; the bitterness is relatively low, the alcohol is very well hidden.
Massive and unrefined, just a wonderful brutal Imperial Stout.
