Can from my brother, thanks! Opened on a Monday, the day you need a beer the most. Very dark with a fine bubbled brown head. Super toasted notes, cacao, light soy, molasses, very powerful nose. Flavor is a silky sweet dessert at first, then follows up with a massive coffee-like roasted finish of smooth bitterness that balances the sugars. One of the best stouts I've had this winter.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Bryne. ABV is 10.0%. Pitch black colour, large to moderate tan head. Nice aroma of roast malts, coffee, dark chocolate. Distinctly roasty flavour, medium sweet, notes of coffee and dark chocolate again, hints of vanilla and liquorice, medium bitter finish. Very good beer.

Taster at home courtesy of Saeglopur, big thanks. black color, small coffee colored head. smells bourbon, vanilla, toffee, earthy, some figs, light chocolate, some coffee, hints of some peat. very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes of light peat, coffee, caramel, vanilla, nutty, marzipan, earthy, peppery, bitter chocolate, bit soy sauceish, tobacco. finishes lightly roasty bitter / sweet with notes of soy sauce, peppery and tobacco notes. very nice one, lovely balance, a lot going on, bit too heavy on the oxidation notes for me though.

330 ml bottle from Etre Groumet, bottled 24 June 19. Black body, with a medium, dense, creamy, coffee-colored head. Beautiful aroma of dark chocolate fudge, bourbon, soy sauce, coffee, tobacco, some dark fruits, slight vanilla. Tastes quite similar, with more ashy notes. Full, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes wooden, medium roasty, a bit sweet, a bit ashy, with dark chocolate, coffee, bourbon, tobacco, some soy sauce. Tasty! Rich and complex, with the bourbon barrel perfectly integrated. Beautiful dark chocolate notes throughout, balanced by diverse roasty notes. Once again an outstanding barrel aged Impy by Buxton. Score: 9 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17

Keg at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Dark brownish black with a thin ring of tan head. Ciffee grounds, salted caramel on the aroma. Perfectly bittersweet taste with the sugary caramel being held back by earthy hop. More caramel, underripe blackberry and ash on the finish. Thick, syrupy body. Low carbonation. Masterful!
