We've thrown 80 kilos of Madagascan vanilla and Colombian cacao nibs in addition to 100kg of cocoa powder at this Imperial Chocolate Stout. Rich dark chocolate flavours run all the way through to a smooth yet assertive roasty bitterness on the finish. The introduction of soft dark brown sugar makes for a real decadent treat!

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 28/02/21. Black with a good sized tan cap that retains well. Nose is nutty, dark fruits, rich chocolate, faint coffee, molasses. Taste comprises roasted bite, dark chocolate, toffee, muscavado sugars, light coffee, spice, light booze. Full bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a good kick of alcohol. Solid flavoursome impy stout ... rich and decadent.

28/2/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours almost black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, toffee, vanilla, roasted malt, carob, touch of liquorice and spice. Moderate sweetness and medium roasted bitterness. Full body, slick texture, very soft carbonation. Warming finish. Nicely sippable.

Frothy tan head stayed on a black still body. Coffee, malt & demerara aroma. Medium bodied, tingly on the front with a smooth creamy back. Dark chocolate, cocoa, mocca, demerara & syrup tastes with a lightly hopped finish. First Class.

440ml can thanks Karl for this! Pours pitch black, large bubbly beige head. Watery coffee nose. Smooth, moderately full palate, coffee taking the lead offset by some a distant vanilla sweetness. Some dry roast, leather, chocolate with a soft bitterness. Comes together nicely.
