Bottle split at Bruce’s pad, 31/07/13. Thanks to Luca for trading me this one. Extremely dark mahogony brown with a thin tan head. Nose is roasty malts, chocolate, soy sauce, light booze. Taste comprises dark toffee fudge, chocolate, brown sugars. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, dry finish. Ok drinlable fayre but not enough clout for an impy in my book - perhaps a foreign stout.

Bottle at Bruce’s - London. Thanks to Colin. Pours oily, dark brown with a fine, creamy beige head. Hints of tangy dark malts on the nose, charred dark malts, a bit of dusty cocoa, burnt marshmallows. Medium sweet flavor, some dark bread, burnt dark sugars, light bitterness, some brownies. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet dark malt finish, mellow roast, burnt bread, cocoa. Very drinkable.

Bottle, from trade with Dedollewaitor. An unclear one, dark brown in color and completely headless. Soy sauce, beef stock, roasted malts and some coffee and alcohol in a quite heavy aroma. The flavor follows the same patterns, sure on the malty side, with a little warming touch. Full-bodied, and a bit low on carbonation. Lasting finish with soy sauce, beef stock and roasted malts. Although dull looking, certainly a tasteful and pleasant beer. 110916

06/08/2011 330ml bottle. Nera, densa, impenetrabile, con bel cappello di schiuma color cappuccino, non molto persistente. Aroma intenso di malti tostati, caffè, cioccolata, luppolo e spezie. In bocca è meravigliosamente bilanciata, caffettosa, dolciastra, speziata, con finale amarognolo. Corpo medio-pieno, consistenza vellutata, carbonazione corretta. Per essere una imperial stout da appena 7.8% è davvero notevole. Elegante, complessa, bilanciatissima.

Light body belgian yeast cotton candy, tons of malt, but not enough hops, not enough roasty character. Different but not really my thing.

Rich, layered malt flavors reminded me of a top doppelbock in many ways. Chocolate, caramel, cherry. Good smoke, some wood, but not so deeply roasty. An interesting stout with lovely malt character.

4th June 2010. Bottle in Johnny’s Off License, Rome. Black beer with a few brown bubbles around the edges. Smooth palate, a little dry. Rich dark chocolate and marmite. A little lactose sweetness. Finishes with subtle red fruit. A little different and very nice!
