Deep black with a tan coloured head. The aroma offers some roast coffee and cocoa nib with a hint of both sherry and whiskey notes.
A rich mellow taste on the palate with coffee and bitter chocolate from the dark roasted malt. The high alcohol content is balanced by the malt and intense sherry barrel flavours.
The rich full body finishes with the slightest hint of dry Oloroso Sherry fruit.
Aging for four months in Oloroso Sherry Casks which has held “The Whistler” range of Single Malt whiskeys for 2+ years has extracted complex vanilla and spice notes to this special edition Imperial Stout.

Bottled (due to the request of the zoom RateBeer New Years chatz crowd). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, some slight wood, alcohol and some slight sherry tones and a bit vanilla too. Flavour is liquorice, some toasted, smoked and mild wooden tones with vanilla and some slight alcohol tones. Really lean and smooth to sip on. As long as Alko carries this, this will be a go back to Impy!
