Tap. Rutland Arms, Sheffield. More or less black. Thin, slow moving, lasting, glossy, light brown head. Espresso. Tangy dark chocolate. Rich, roast malts. Vanilla sweetness. Some woodiness. Taste is rich sweet, turning woody dry, and gentle bitter. Palate manages to be sticky and viscous at the same time. Finishes bitter, and fairly dry. Lovely sipping beer, albeit a tad dry on the finish. That’s being picky, mind you.

Last and best beer of the night: cheers Simon for bringing this to the Sep 2014 Shrewsbury beer exchange. Pity there were four of us to share the 330ml bottle! Pours almost pitch black,viscous and rich in texture, there is a smooth creamy feel to it. The aroma and taste combine together to produce a very good beer. I found milk chocolate, vanilla and liquorice flavours without trying and thought the beer delightful.

From cask @ Cask Pub & Kitchen. Not much of a head on this, well it's cask, but still. The little filmy dark brown thing quickly sticks to the sides, and the beer itself is as good a pitch black. Totally impossible to see through against the light. I don't have to lift the glass to get the aroma here. Smells lovely vanillaish with a shitload of burned dark toast and rye bread. Lots of aroma going on here. Dark unsalted licorice, some leather and of it I look long and closely, a little hoppy thing is also present. Dead cask flat on the bubbles and it had a really nice gliding oily feeling in the mouth. This is basically liquefied burned bred. Rye and your oral burned toast. Damn, I really like how this tastes. Was expecting a chocolate bomb, but the chocolate is more like cacao inspired. The burned bread really dominates here. This is one serious well hidden abv beer. Not even a hint of the alcohol here just pure awesome dark burned flavors. Lovely! 08.11.2013

Bottle directly from Siren Brewery, Finchampstead, Berkshire, 20th November 2013, consumed at home Saturday 28th December 2013 Another Impy Stout (I had four tonight) and another Siren beer. This pours much like the other Siren stout, pitch black, shark eye black and leaving an oily coating in the glass. Its really smooth and super indulgent, no chilli or spiciness here, but there is waves of creamy chocolate, with folds of milk chocolate its a bit like a flake it really is rich and smooth. Sweet with some liqourice and there is an oaky, vanilly creaminess. This is lovely. So tonight I had Stone Imperial Stout, Siren Oi Zeus Imperial Stout, Siren Even More Jesus VIII Imperial Stout (this one) and finally Courage Imperial Russian Stout all were bloody great.
