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.

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

Tap at 100 piv. Full body, medium carbonation. Med-high sweetness initially, over time overtaken but high bitterness, seems like a hoppy-roasted-cocoa combo in equal parts. Medium vanilla, lots of cocoa, med-light deep roast. Medium fruitiness, forest berries. Also moderate alcohol burn, this one is not shy at all, but the strength of flavour just about supports the warmth. Could use more complexity and mellowing of the burning booziness. Overall good but not great.
