From a 640 ml bottle shared in Sydney. Pours a clear dark cola with a thin tan head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Notes of tobacco and licorice. Medium heavy bodied, low carbonation, bitter roasted finish.

Bottle. Dark brown with a light tan head that fades to a coat quite soon but laces OK. Aroma of mocha, molasses, vanilla, pepper, some floral and orange notes. Silky, low carbonation. Some overt alcohol in the mouth, but no real heat. Pretty sweet. Mocha, dark sugars, very modest roasted flavours. Bitterness lurks: at first just stopping the sweetness from getting out of hand, then creeps up a bit. Leans a bit much towards the sweet side of things for me given that there isn’t a real rumbling bottom end, but pretty good. This is a Good Sign.

From a 640ml bottle on 27/5/2013. Very surprised to find an imperial stout carrying the Sail & Anchor name. My recollection is that they do ultra dull pale lagers (noting that they contract brew with Gage Roads). Pours close to black with a smallish tan head which disappears quickly. Has quite a modest aroma for the style, with some chocolate, choc topping and caramel. Taste wise it’s a sweet one, with milk chocolate most prominent, along with some caramel and a hint of soy, This is balanced out quite nicely by a slightly sharp roasty, hoppy bitterness. Has quite a light body for an imperial, with the carbonation low to medium. Ridiculously easy to drink for something that’s 9.5%. While it lacks the complexity of a really good imperial, it’s none the less an enjoyable sweet, winter sipper. You know things are looking up in the beer world when you can buy an Aussie brewed imperial stout at Dan Murphy’s!
