Bottle @ MTG II tasting at Rich’s Welfare Pad. Pours very dark brown, tan head. Aroma is musty cocoa. Taste brings nice grainy cocoa alongside a good full-bodied imperial stout character, some liquorice. Tasty.

Bottle shared at home. Very dark ruby-brown pour with a tall tan head with decent retention, that eventually gives way to a sticky lacing. Notes of roasted malts, smoke, dark chocolate, cocoa, molasses. Medium to full bodied, low carbonation and a roasty bitter-sweet finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Old Growth Imperial Stout on 22 Aug 2016 at 18:57 - Score: 8

Rather stable, rust-coloured head over black beer. Rust, slag, sweet-burnt, coffee, mocha, café noir cookies. Sourish, stout flavour at first, then going to burnt-bitter, with some covert sweet malt undertones. Obviously well-bodied, slick and rich. Good carbonation. Myeah... Old Growth? I’d be tempted to speak about Déjà vu....
