This is one half of a Black & Tan. Not just any Black & Tan, but one where a toasted smug and hoppy fella get together to make a sublime Taiji balance. Mix the Yin & Yang together (or enjoy this profoundly evil Imperial Stout solo).

Can. Hazy deep brown. Tan head. Well-lacing. Aroma: roast, capuccino, dried fruit. A hint of yeast. Full body. Taste: vinous, quite dry, malty, roasted. Solid bitterness. Well-tasting but not among the best Evil Twin impies.

355ml bottle from Spirits of Mt. Seymor LRS. Pours an almost black with a dark beige head. Aroma is sweet, some molasses, leather notes. Similar taste with roasted malt notes, some light burnt sugar, sweet berries, and hoppy bitterness. Roasted malt hoppy aftertaste. Very nice, a good representative of the style.

11/V/18 - 33cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte), shared @ home - BB: n/a, "198:15 08:20" (2018-695)
Clear dark brown to black beer, big dense creamy irregular beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: some alcohol, dried fruits, plums, bit acidic, lots of chocolate, little oxidized (I have been holding on to this bottle for quite a while, think about a year or 3?), nice roast, some mocha. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: pretty roasted start, slightly sweet, some alcohol, little sourish, dried fruits, plums, rich and earthy flavours, quite some chocolate. Aftertaste: sweet, alcohol, some banana peel, roasted, bitter, dark chocolate, coffee grit, ashes, bitter hops.

Can. Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma is intensive dark chocolate, some ash, some milk chocolate. Alcohol does not disturb. Light bitterness, no sweetness. Smooth, not too heavy. Classy imperial stout.

Opaque black - brown beer, good tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Surprisingly thin dark malts, decent dark chocolate, tangy. A trace of dark malt cream. Tangy dark fruits. A fairly light finish brings some roast bitterness. Rich but otherwise unremarkable.

Black with medium brown head. Aroma is vanilla coffee chocolate cocoa slight fish. Taste is bitter roast malt coffee and only a hint of sweet vanilla. Long bitter finish of coffee. Oily and rather harsh. Still good.

12 ounce can. Opaque black color topped by a moderate frothy tan head. Mild roasted malt nose hints at charcoal and espresso. Rich, creamy roasted malt flavor. Bittersweet chocolate, espresso and resiny hops. Smooth and drinkable, though warming alcohol comes through in finish.
