Bottle shared in London - thanks to Tipple. Pours deep brown with a creamy tan head. Big dark chocolate nose, brownies, peat, roast. Medium sweet flavour, boozy, ashy, some peat, bitter dark chocl.ate. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, lots of ashy roast, bitter baking cocoa. Good toothy impy stout.

Bottle thanks to Tipple. It pours opaque jet black with a small tan head. The aroma is rich roast malt, charred wood, burnt toast, rocky road, slick, vanilla, burnt toast, salty, umami, liquorice and earth. The taste is slick, chewy, toasty, charred wood, tannin, liquorice, umami, earthy roast, fruit whisky, spice, savoury, marmite and treacle. Full body and fine carbonation. Intense stuff. Fun.

Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to Tips. Opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth tangy dark malts, decent dark chocolate. Little tangy dark fruits blend in well. Some bitterish whiskey on the back end. Not bad.

Bottle. Color: Black, thin light brown head. Aroma: Dark roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, whiskey. Taste: Moderate sweet and moderate bitter, dark roasted malt, coffee, hints of peat, cocoa and mocha. The Arran BA is coming in towards the finish, giving a warming mouthfeel and quite boozy and bittery and slightly nutty Whiskey-ish finish. Full body, soft carbonation. Very well balanced. Very nice BA Imperial Stout.

330 ml bottle. Pours jet black with moderate tan head. Aromas of oaky whisky barrel, black coffee and roasted malts. Flavors of lively clean whiskey with a little peat, dark chocolate, dry black coffee, and slick roasted malts. A great tasty Arran iteration. Not overkill. Well done.

0.33 l bottle from Edinburgh. Shared at a drinking session with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran in the summer of 2017. Thanks a lot for bringing this all the way here! Black with a small brown head. Very strong aroma, brandy or whiskey, some whiskey barrel aroma and some fruits. Sweet with dryness from whiskey barrel developing. Medium body, alcohol hidden, lasting finish.
