This hobo inducing imperial stout is made using 8 different malts, 2 European hops and the silky smoothness of bourbon whisky. Slightly roasty, slightly sweet, this deceptively smooth assault on the senses will have you coming back for more.

440ml can from the brewery. Poured almost black in colour with a big, short-lived, fizzy, light tan head. The aroma is floral, aromatic hops, light alcohol. The flavour is light sweet, with a somewhat light, watery, liqourice, dry, woody, oaky, boozy, floral, light dry ashtray palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Not particularly refined. In fact it was all over the place. Tasted like a bad home brew.

Black beer, off white head. Light boozy malty aroma. Flavour has loads of the bourbon, some malt, liquorice. It's a bit too much on sweetness and booze for my taste.

Bottle taken away from the Tevern, Warrington, and drunk at home. Dark brown, only slightly translucent with a creamy tan head. Luscious aroma of chocolate, whisky, some coffee, black pepper, Marmite and black cherry. Delicious taste, boozy and quite sweet with a yeasty savoury note near the short finish. Body is too thin, and there's a strange medicinal note in the finish, but all in all it's very good although short of Wilde Child's best brews.

Leeds Beer Festival 2017. Black and strong, but with a good amount of roasted malts in here, which would probably be a little more milky if it wasn’t for its strength.

Bottle shared in High Wycombe - thanks to Kenwise. Pours rich brown with a creamy, beige head. Somewhat elementary perhaps, with well toasted brown bread, sweet chocolate, a little booze, dried fruits. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish with some baking cocoa, moderate roast, burnt caramel. Enjoyable impy stout.
