Bottle from Beers of Europe, drunk at home. As Blue Monkey Silverback. Very dark brown, almost no head. Fudge, charcoal, salted caramel and a touch of stone fruit in the uncompromising aroma. Tastes sweet with slightly burned malts: Marmite, chocolate fudge sundae. Flat, oily body with a sweet figgy aftertaste. It’s a pretty enjoyable and competent imperial stout.

Opque black - brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is airy with mild minerally carbonation. Rich dark malt with a lot of unsweet dark chocolate. Light touch of orangey hop underneath. Finishes light and semi dry with a chocolatey aftertaste.

Bottle split at Josh’s Farwell Blast, acquired from Beers Of Europe, 20/02/14. Light black with a moderate tan covering. Nose is treacle toffee, light spice, dark malt, roasty bitter notes, ash, dark chocolate. Taste comprises bitter chocolate, earthy tones, molasses, dark toffee, medium roastings. Medium + bodiment, fine carbonation, semi drying closure. Ok impy but lacks depth and grace, a little raw in places.

Bottle shared in London for Josh’s farewell do. Pours clear, rich brown with a fine, creamy tan head. Odd nose, definitely some alcohol present, toasted brown bread, perhaps some ripe fruits. Medium sweet flavor with dried dark fruits, burnt marshmallows, strong roast, earth. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish with lasting torched earth bitterness, baking cocoa, more dried fruits. Decent.
