375ml bottle from Prince Wine. Pours black in colour with a beige foam head. Aroma of roast malt with coffee & chocolate. Taste is sweetish, roasted, malty, rich chocolate, molasses, dried fruits, spicy and earthy rye whisky. Medium to full bodied, soft carbonation, warm dry boozy finish. Nicely sippable.

Bottle, 375ml. 13C. Very dark brown with a tan head that promises a bit but struggles to hang around for more than a couple of minutes. Big but not obviously hot aroma with fudge, mocha, vanilla, toast, oak, licorice. 7+ Syrupy, low carbonation that - given it’s not exactly a quaffer - is gone before time. No overt booze in the aroma, but yipe, there’s certainly a spirit burn at the end. A roar, really. Thins out the texture a little much too. Sweet chocolate fudge, not much roast, some spices, the rest is largely progressively obliterated by spirit. Some licorice shows along with moderate bitterness and spices at the end. For its strength it’s pleasant, it’s fine, it’s certainly drinkable. Needed more beer and more point.

From a 375ml bottle on 8/7/2016. Pours the deepest of brown with a small head. Has a beautiful nose featuring cocoa, hot chocolate and vanilla, with just a hint of soy and whisky. From the first sip, you can tell this is something very special. Syrupy, sticky and super sweet, it features chocolate, caramel, toffee, treacle, brown sugar and vanilla, with a dash of salty soy and rye. A true dessert beer, which exhibits glorious harmony and balance, with the subtle, warming whisky notes and rye bitterness acting the perfect foil to rich, ultra sweet goodness. Never has 18.4% been so easy to quaff. This is a best super big impy I’ve had to date. Well done Moon Dog - very proud to be an Aussie on sampling this! The bottle cost me around $35 but it was worth every cent. Fucking amazing. Rating 4.6.
Re-rate on 23/7/2016. I’m unable resist further indulgence with this masterpiece of a brew. The best dessert beer I’ve ever tasted, and the finest super high ABV beer I’ve encountered as well. Mind blowing.
