At a tasting, thanks, medium frothy bubbly head, clear deepish brown color with some reddish hues, roasted coffee aroma, milk and dark chocolate flavor with some charred notes, mellow bitterness. Fair but not really too exciting.

75cl bottle courtesy of and shared with 77ships. Brune foncée, col fin beige. Arôme est malté, léger caramel, grillé et un peu brûlé. Fin caramel. Retrouve un bouquet assez anglais dont le côté houblonné est modéré. Palais est malté, grillé, plaisant mais j’ai du mal à croire que l’on est ici devant un stout impérial. Amertume perce en fin de bouche avec un profil noble.
