From a 330ml bottle on 10/2/2020 (2017 vintage). Pours a deep, deep brown with a medium tan head which disappears quickly. Has a big choc, caramel malt aroma. The flavour is dominated by caramel, with good dashes of milk and dark chocolate, toffee, and a hint of licorice. Has a mild roasty bitterness at the back. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy, the carbonation softish. A really lovely impy - a beautifully balanced and delicious treat.

Bottle shared in London - cheers bro! Pours oily black-brown with a frothy tan head. Torched wood in the nose, ash, brown sugar. Medium sweet flavour with lots of hearty roast, burnt malts, bitter baking cocoa, scorched earth. Full bodied, chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming and oily in the finish, more bittersweet chocolate. Good toothy stuff.

Bottle 330ml. Black, with tan head and good lacing. Aromat is full of chocolate and sweet liqueur notes, intense and very, very nice. There are also note of dark fruits like dried plum what suggests notes of oxidation. Medium to high, roast bitternes is long, aggresive like should be in RIS, balanced by malty, chocolate body gives very good flavor. Beer is bitter, roasty at the beginning and sweet in aftertaste. Full body, smooth, lightly carbonated,
