On tap at Waller StC pours black with a large tan head. Aroma is quite spicy, with lots of cinnamon, gentle chili, nutmeg and a little coffee. Flavour is smooth, with light tartness, and plenty of spicy adjuncts — there's nutmeg, cinnamon, chili, and some tart fruitiness. Not like most imperial stouts — the body is creamy and hides the alcohol well, but the tartness doesn't seem like it should be there. Alright.

A deep dark stout with a thin lacing brown head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, licorice, cinnamon, alcohol warmth, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, licorice, alcohol warmth, light cinnamon, nice and smooth. On tap at brewery.
