According to some, humanity is born with a built-in urge to do bad things. In that spirit, we tried to do something good when we designed this beer, using a massive malt base to create depth and complexity with the right amount of roasted malt and caramel notes. Upon that base we layered more than twice the amount of cocoa nibs that we’ve ever used in a beer before, along with a healthy dose of vanilla. What came out of the tank is a full-on dark chocolate parade for the palate – combining accents of milk chocolate,
vanilla, and freshly roasted coffee with a deeply, rich cocoa coating for the entire mouth. Some say that we’re all born into sin, so we may as well taste the forbidden fruit while we’re here.

330ml can from Battle of Bull, Cheras, Malaysia. Poured almost black in colour with a thin tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, earthy, herbal. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter and sweet, with a smooth, rich, slightly oily, herbal, chocolate, coffee, light liqourice, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

33cl can from Alko, Helsinki. Pours very dark brown, close to black, with a tiny, tanned head. Malty aroma with plenty of chocolate, vanilla and mild caramel, dried fruits and hints of alcohol. Sweet, smooth and rather flavourful with well integrated alcohol. Warming, desserty and quite delicious.

Can picked up from CraftbeerFreak, Bischofsmais and consumed at home Tuesday 29th August 2023 after a day of decorating. We had Spaghetti Carbonara for tea, we're now listening to Tom Ravenscroft and Deb Grant with their New Music Fix Show on 6Music. Pours black with a tan head. Thickness in the mouth, very chocolatey, smooth, creamy and really rich, quite indulgent. Cannot believe that I have not had this, it's an excellent Impy Stout.

Not the L6 bottleshare. Thanks to Dan. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Rich dark chocolate malts, nice coconut. Good boozy bourbon rich fruits. Smooth spicy finish, dark chocolate Malteasers and coconut. Nice. Best of the Lervigs so far tonight.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an opaque black with a small, rough, brownish head. Sweet and very chocolatey nose. Rich and sweet - very sweet - roastiness again with massive chocolate notes and even more massive vanilla. Really fat with a potent, boozy finish. The overwhelming sweetness is a real challenge. But a ig beer indeed. 270323
