Flaske delt med Steven, hos ham: nesten helt sort med fint skum. Vidunderlig aroma og smak med enorm fylde og laang ettersmak. Mørk sjokolade, dessertkaffe, lakris, vanilje og andre godsaker i perfekt blanding. Life is good.

Gravity cask at the CAMRA National Winter Ales. Festival 2017, Norwich. Black with a tan head. Smell is almost entirely dominated by sweet liquorice but the taste is far more complex: salted caramel, peanut brittle, yeast extract. Long sweet and salty finish. Oily body. Wow. A brilliant strong stout.

Nose is fruity, fruit cake, subtle smoke, plums, raisin, oak, light coffee. Taste is dark fruits, blackberry, hint of cola, coffee, licorice, tobacco, hint of dark chocolate, light coffee, slight pepperiness. Mouthfeel is rich and smooth. It’s a great imperial stout which leads with the fruity and licorice character of a stout rather than the chocolate and coffee bombs of many others. Fantastic .

Bottle - thanks Santa! Pours opaque black with a medium creamy brown head that lasts and laces well. Aroma is licorice and roasted malts. Flavor is lots of anise, molasses, some cocoa, roasted malts, hints of tobacco. Quite sweet and medium bitter. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. A little high on licorice for me to truly enjoy.

1st Rate of 2016: 330ml bottle (Lot 825 BBE 10/2016). Poured into a Westmalle chalice just after midnight early hours of 1st Jan. What a great way to start a year. Drank with a ’Double Decker’ chocolate bar, really worked. The deep malty brew with it’s chocolate and coffee flavours were complimented by the sweeter, lighter confectionary and it was a fitting nightcap to an English tasting session I held with myself throughout New Years Eve cumulating with this fine Imp Stout. Would have preferred the head to be deeper and richer, but that is a small consideration compared to the overall enjoyment of such a flavoursome beer.

330ml bottle. Lot No. 876. Pours black in colour with a light brown foam head. Nose of roasted malt, chocolate & coffee. Sweetish roast malt flavour with molasses, dark fruits, chocolate powder, coffee and some bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, fine carbonation, boozy roast bitter finish. Very drinkable.
