From a 375ml can on 26/6/2019. Pours near black with a small to medium tan head. The smell is roasty, with some chocolate and light coffee. Tastes of dark and milk chocolate, caramel and burnt toffee, a touch of coffee and spice, with some berries, dried fruit and roasted/burnt malt, finishing with a moderate bitterness. Has just a hint of booze. Fullish body with a slightly syrupy texture, and moderate carbonation. Tasty enough and reasonably well done, but not really my kind of impy.

375mL can, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out plenty of roasted malt, with gentle cocoa, maybe a touch of espresso. Flavour is along the same lines, with a hearty, robust roasted malt character, with some dark cocoa, and some gentle espresso in back. Nice and roasty, without being too brutal. By the books, but very competently done. Great stuff.

Can. Black with 2cms of brown head that slowly fades to a fat coat. Roasty aroma with mocha, hints of pine and spice. Full bodied, short of oily Smooth with lowish carbonation. Holds the alcohol well. Rich malt with more chocolate than coffee, some pear. Spice from yeast rather than hops I'd guess. Some solventy piney notes that don't really fit for mine join towards the firmly bitter finish. Pretty good.
