A pillowy tan head, well laced, over a near black body. Slightly more translucent than some other monster ISs. On popping the cap, damp hardwood and dark berries are the first aroma elements. Molasses, malt and dark chocolate round out the primary nose elements. Lots going on in the taste profile. Molasses, dark chocolate, slightly singed butter, a growing citrus hop sub-profile, a hint of scotch whiskey, oatmeal and chocolate fudge in the finish. Sustains well. A great IS that sustains well. A little more density and grip to the taste elements and it would be one of the few.

Bottle from Oddbins Beer Shop, Blackheath. Black pour no head. Ooh that’s a good nose, quite a nostril stirrer. Aromas of dark chocolate, licorice toffee, dates, coffee, raisin. Flavours of warm sweet spice, black pepper, raisin, dark chocolate, coffee, licorice. Smoky sweet mouthfeel. Throat caressing warmth. Excellent brew. Really enjoyed this.
