Bottle from Brother Beer. Vintage 2019. Black with a lasting dark brown head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, wood and whisky. Flavor is quite sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and roasted moderate bitter finish with warming alcohol. Oily. Nice and clean impy without all the additives. 130721

Bottle: As black as expected, medium-sized stable and loose tanned head, moderate sweet-bitter aroma of toasty/roasty malt and dried black berries, nutty traces included, vanilla and wood hardly detectable; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied and soft; lingering sweet coffeeish- malty and fruity, later - mainly in the aftertaste - bitter finish. Well made, not overly demanding Stout...

Virtually black with a thin, beige head. Very mild whiskey aroma. A dash of chocolate and roasted grains. Overall a subpar aroma for an impy. Taste though is a hit: full of sweet fudge balanced balanced by a mild roasted bitterness. Very nice. Body is medium, carbonation is mild, texture slightly watery. Overall, pleasant.
