(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 15 Aug 2025) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted, vinous nose with notes of sweet espresso, cacao, liquorice, bourbon and oak wood. Malty, roasted, vinous taste with sweet espresso, cacao, soy sauce, liquorice, bourbon, oak wood, a touch of tar and a generous coffee bitterness in a warming finish. Full body, sweet. Rich, tasty and mellow. Age has probably softened off the edges a bit. Excellent balance. Great beer!

På fat Taphouse med 2×Per o P.N. Doftar fantastiskt med massor av bourbon. Klunkar återigen denna dryck o visst här ligger bourbon med fin sötma o lite bärsötma. Eftersmaken fatlagring med lite ek o lång smak! Mmm gott

2020 tasted sep 2025 Dark, dark, brown head that is small and soon goes away.
significantly more phenolic than the 2018 i tasted earlier today. also more roasted malty and less rubbery/gluey, in the aroma. this aroma almost feels like it could use some more time, bottle, or even better, barrel. roasted malts and booze mostly. lacking the finer bourbon nuances of 17 and 18 vintages.
flavor is roasted malty, licorice, sharp stinging peppery note that suits it really well, bourbon not really directly tasted but can be sensed in the overall flavor profile. roasted malts more prominent than 17,18 and 22 versions, not sure if its age or vintage, but this one is the one most true to imp stout, with roasted malts driving the flavor. great flavor. very balanced too, as the bourbon haven't taken over. finer notes from wood, charred wood, salty licorice. simple but outstanding flavor allright.
