Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Massively spicy aroma from the liqueur, anise, sugary notes, mint, herbal leaves, liquorice root, wood, touch of chocolate. Sweet and sugary with some booze and bitterness in the finish. Hard to rate this, it's so ridiculously spiced. Cough syrup.

Bottle, at Patrick's. A black one, with a small light tan head. Lightly boozy aroma, citrusy, with roasted malts, hints of dark chocolate and coffee grit, and some herbal hints. It's full bodied and lightly warming, sweet, with a herbal bitterness. Roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate and a herbal note in the flavor. Citrusy flavor and bitterness. Lasting finish. Interesting and tasteful, unusual barrel but it works. 230421

Bottle. Dark brown, almost black body under a finger sized, dense, deep brown head. Strong aroma of dark roasted malt, dark chocolate, dry fruit, anis and warming alcohol. Taste is sweet, dark roasted malt, dark, bitter chocolate, dry fruit, anis, licorice, some wood and smooth but distinct alcohol. Balanced bitterness. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. Very nice, complex and tasty.

Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head but it doesn't last. Smooth palate, mildly dry and fairly light for the style, good fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a nice light creamy milk chocolate vibe. The highly unusual barrelling provides spice and nice fruity herbal vibe that goes well with the spicy alcohol. Nice job, unusual but tasty and coherent, another inventive Impy from this Icelandic brewery.
