40cl can de Drink Store, Dublin. BB 23/02, no year, batch# L18050. Brune foncée, col fin beige. Arôme est finement malté, touche de grillé rappelant l'espresso sur de belles effluves de fruits noirs et un rétro fin chocolaté. Palais est malté, cara pâle, chocolaté le tout sur un caractère belge dans l'approche levure et aussi dans le côté sucre candi. Note un bon effet fruits noirs rappelant dates et pruneaux. Le café revient sur la fin se fondant bien dans cette approche plutôt quad.

Can from N6 Services, Athlone [130618]
Pitch black, tan head, little lacing
Aroma of dark fruity malts, fruity yeast, soft roast
Taste of roasted malts, soft espresso, some bitter roast, dark fruits, fruity yeast gives more complexity to the taste, dab of bitter dark chocolate
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, little thin, fairly bitter roast, soft sweet malts, alcohol a bit noticeable. Finish is dry, dab of dark bitter chocolate and bitter roast tail
Overall - More roasty, fruity and drier than usual for an impy.
