A rich, dark luxurious Imperial Stout brewed with Fairtrade cacao husks and Madagascan vanilla pods, it’s like an adventure for you taste buds…. Straight off the bat, waves of chocolate, lactose, caramel and dried fruit will assault your senses. Next up is a touch of smoke and liquorice blended with coconut and coffee. The mouthfeel is full and creamy balanced fantastically with a berry like acidity that keeps this beer juicy and super drinkable. Suitable for ageing but try to drink me before the end of the world...

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks Tom L. Black with a tan head. Great cocoa aroma with chocolate, a bit of fruitiness. Sweetish flavor, roasty, with cocoa, a light sourish hint, a bit of coffee, and a balancing bitterish finish. Medium-bodied. Very good.

Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [100116]
Pitch black, very fizzy pour, settles with a large beige head
Aroma of soft dark sweet chocolate, prominent vanilla
Taste of dark sweet malts, dark chocolate, soft vanilla, very soft roast, some alcohol
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, seems thin for an impy, quite sweet. Finish as main flavour, dark malts, warming alcohol
Overall - Flavours are quite simple, lacks complexity, alcohol a bit noticeable. A bit disappointing.
