Keg from Black Iris taproom. Black, opaque with a ring of beige head. Coconut in the aroma, some bourbon. Sweet taste, booze and liquorice with more coconut. Light sourness in the finish. Syrupy body with light carbonation. Brilliant.

Keg at Black Iris. Aroma is boozy. Fruity. Coffee. Dark and glossy. Creamy beige head. Mist have been barrel aged - fruity booze. Underlying coffee. Medium bodied. Oily. Flat carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Pub punchy stuff but maybes well be a standard Impy Porter.
