On tap at Alibi, 2016 release. Pours very dark brown, almost black with a brown head. Aroma and taste are slightly sweet, dark fruits, burnt malt, saddle, with some chocolate, cocoa and roasted sunflower seeds notes and some alcohol. Burnt malt with dark fruits and some bourbon, saddle, chocolate and smoky notes aftertaste. Very good balanced beer. Should become even better with aging.

In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with light coffee, maple, vanilla, alcohol warmth, toffee, very nice and balanced. Bottle at Spinrsx tasting.

2016 bottle poured. Huge thanks to mcberko for the bottle! Listed at 11.2% Jet black pour with an active tan fizz head and sticking lace. Aroma is chocolate, doughy, and a bit nutty. Big chocolate flavor upnfront, and a little dough, a lot like the aroma. Thick body, lingering cocoa finish. Excellent.

Bottle split at RBWG ’15 hotel lobby share on the final night, thanks to whomever shared this one, 21/02/15. Black with a moderate tan covering. Nose is rich malt, light peppery spice, chocolate malt, charr, light roasted tones, subtle barrel. Taste comprises rich chocolate, dark fruit rinds, spice, trace of bourbon. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a little added boost. Ok impy but doesn’t really get out of 2nd gear for me.

Re-rate: Poured from 650mL bottle (2021 vintage - abv listed as 11.8%). Cap was rusted under the wax and initial smell upon opening was an odd sardine smell (some sort of chemical reaction between the cap and wax?). Once poured in the glass, it subsided. Medium roast malt, feint barrel and chocolate, more of a medium body. Okay, but not a stand out. First rate - April 25, 2015 (7/4/8/4/15=3.8): Poured from the tap. Black with tan head. Getting a bit of the bourbon, some mild chocolate and coffee, subtle leather and tobacco. Good, but not the best imperial stout.
