5 Kay, 7.5 Kay, 10 Kay Tasting. Very big thanks to Jack for this much wanted whale. Very dark brown - black beer, decent dark tan head. Nose of rich coffee and mild maple. Palate is smooth and airy but still has a little body. Very fine carbonation. Smooth and rich dark malts. Lovely dark malt cream and rich chocolate fudge. Mellow but well flavoured coffee. Touch of maple. Mild dark fruits and fruity mellow bourbon. Trace of licorice. Smooth dry finish. Yeah - worth the hype, this is a special Impy. Sumptuous and packed full of flavour but very easy to drink.

Smell is intense and malty with roasted malts, caramel, vanilla fudge, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate, soy sauce, chocolate covered cherries, raisins in rum, Schwarzwald cake, salty liquorice hard candy, moist soil and bourbon alcohol. Taste is equally intense, sweet, bitter and malty with roasted malts, burnt caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, charred wood, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate, dried pine needles, hay, moist soil, salty liquorice hard candy, soy sauce, raisins, prunes, dates, high quality mature high fat salami, walnut skins and bourbon alcohol. Mouthfeel is enormous, fat, oily, round, tiny roasted astringent and full bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, burnt caramel, Brazil nut fudge, vanilla fudge, charred wood, dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, soy sauce, raisins, dates, moist soil, bourbon alcohol, chocolate cake and hints of charcoal. Wow! While they’re not similar in their presentation the last time I had this kind of experience was the first time I tried Kaggen. Every drop is packed with intense flavours and those flavours are plain amazing. Wow! This is equally good but different. Second best IS I’ve ever tried.

Bottle gigantic thanks to the man, the myth, the pervert, Jack L. It pours jet black with a dark tan head. The nose is rich roast, espresso coffee, oily, earth, wood, toffee, marshmallow, fruit cake, nougat, vanilla, toasty coconut and coffee liqueur. The taste is rich, oily, deep roast, dark chocolate, espresso coffee, charred wood, nougat, toffee, fruit cake, mild acidity, warming alcohol, earth, light spice and molasses with a lingering rich roasty finish. Full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Rich and decadent. Pretty drinkable. As good as this style gets.
