Slightly aged sample Medium but dense, creamy off-white head; orange-foxy beer with a slight haze all the same. Bit of caramel or even toffee, yet not overly sweet nose. Some extra smell that reminds me both of honeysweets and... stinging nettles? Caramel, and a discreet hoppy bitterness that has a metallic, even galvanic tang to it. Bit smoked, but not as smoked malt nor ashes. Reasonably refreshing, bit gassy. Something vaguely (hazel)nutty in the aftertaste. The "Imperial" name is less than clear. It’s a decent bottled ale, for sure. Thanks to podge, who yielded to my stubborness.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An amber beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flavor is malty combined with notes of caramel, and the body is very thin. A boring beer.
