This beer is a beast at 17% ABV and over 80 IBU's. It's loaded with 15 different malts, and contains dark brown, demerara and jaggery sugars. A long conditioning time, this thick beer is rich, dark and extremely flavourful. (Maybe enjoy with a friend). Sink into the darkness with Abaddon.

(Draft at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 8 Nov 2025) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted, vinous nose with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, cacao, liquorice and soy sauce. Malty, roasted, vinous taste with cacao, chocolate truffles, espresso, soy sauce, liquorice and a generous cacaco bitterness in a boozy and warming finish. Full body, sweet. Alcohol fairly upfront, and a touch too sweet. But really rich and tasty. Very nice.

Can from the Green Goddess, Blackheath Royal Standard. Aromas of dark chocolate,smoke, prunes,icing sugar,plum jam.Uber sweet taste of sweet tobacco, prunes,liquorice toffee,more icing sugar.Heavy going liqueur-esque brew.Boozy throat warming action. It would be a lot nicer without the harsh lozenge backdrop.

Can courtesy of Baz, he picked this up from Hereford Beer House, consumed in the company of Jude and Baz at Camping Leutasch, Austria, Saturday 16th August 2025. Bottle at home. Yeah this as Baz predicted is a monster of a beer, burnt bitter slabs of caramel, big thick mouthfeel. Wow this is a bitter Impy', in terms of the bitterness for a non IPA it reminds me of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. The appearance is pitch black, there's a little roasty coffee, chocolate and the aforementioned caramel. I like it, it's very good beer, but wowsers that bitterness is a real punch and one that instantly tempers the sweetness.

On tap at Hanging Bat, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out deep roast, intense molasses, and dry cocoa. Flavour is full of deep molasses, cocoa, and moderate roast. The ABV is impressively reigned. Beautifully done.

On keg at the Wee Vault. Appearance - solid jet black. not much head. Nose - molasses, burnt wood, leather and roasted malts. Taste - burnt wood, roast and some sweetness via a molasses and liquorice note. Palate - full bodied, dry and roasty. Surprisingly not very boozy. Overall - a bit gnarly, but quite impressive overall.
