Sample courtesy of mR_fr0g, cheers Fergus! Black colour, no head and aroma of rich malt, molasses, dark chocolate, fruits, port, booze. Taste is sweet, dark chocolatey, malt, molasses, brown sugar, raisins, coffee, port, with nutty, boozy, biscuit notes and roasty bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, full bodied, soft carbonation, lingering sweet chocolatey & roast bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle at home from CW online. Pours jet black with no discernable head. Aroma is jammy red fruit, boozy dried fruit, port barrel, chocolate, hazelnut, molasses. Taste is chocolate, fudge brownie, jammy red fruit, port barrel then kicks in adding sour, dry aged oak. Nice port barrel finish taking off the sweetness. Possibly one of the best Impys Cloudwater have done.
