Dark sweet roasted malty with opulent chocolate, some caramel and toffee malty sweetness in play, nice mouthfeel and full body, bourbon and vanilla coalesce into the lingering dark malty finish. Very nice.

Roast and light caramel. Barrel is really well integrated here. Light enough to give a great injection of oak without being too much. A little chocolate. Black pour with decent head. Bittersweet finish. Can.

Burk fredagskväll i Götet. Här har vi torr och kraftigt rostad malt samt lite bourbon. Finns liiite choklad också. Tur bourbon finns där annars hade ölen bara varit torrt hårt rostad malt. Så ok Imp stout ändå.

Can at home. Opaque black color, virtually no head. Aroma is malts, brown malts, heavy bourbon and it seems to me that they've thrown in some kind of (Dutch) "peperkoek" (kind of dinger bread-ish I think). Flavor is malts, bourbon prominently, brown malts, brown malts alcohol bitters. Quite pleasant. Maybe a little bit "rough" but still quite nice.
