THE stout tasting Pt1. Thank you Jack for hauling this one back! Opaque dark brown beer. Little tan head. Smooth viscous palate. Smooth chocolatey malt. rich. A little alchol zing but not too warm. Develops dark fruits and the you get a hint of the rum. Pinch of spice. Lovely rich and smooth Impy.

Growler shared at The Stout Tasting Part I, London - enormous thanks to Jack for procuring this beer. Pours black-brown with a fine, creamy beige head. Some dark fruits in the nose, licorice, dark chocolate. Big sweet flavor with rich dark fruits, raisins, sweet dark bread, silky chocolate. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish with lusty dark fruits, figs, dark chocolate, raisins, brownies. Great balance, super drinkable. Seriously, the beer is just outrageously good overall. Outstanding.

Growler at THE stout tasting - part 1. Thanks jackl! It pours opaque dark brown with a small tan head. The nose is wood, vanilla, sweet caramel, light roasted malt, toast, fudge, toasted coconut, plum, prune and sherry-like notes. The taste is rich-roasted malt, ash, alcohol warmth, salted caramel, lots of dark fruit, rum, raisin, plum, date and toffee with a warming, bitter-sweet finish. Full body, fine carbonation and slick mouth-feel. Good depth of flavour, smooth and very well-balanced. Took me a bit by surprise....delicious!!
