23rd June 2018; Cotteridge gathering, shared bottle. Intense stuff this. Tanned foam on a black body. Chocolate comes through loud and clear along with some Bourbon notes, nice alcohol kick in there too. Very drinkable.

Taste comprises toffee, chochocolate, light black peppery spice, dried fruits, hint of coffee, bourbonics. Full bodied , fine carbonation, semi drying close with a rising but balanced boost. Solid impy.

Had this at the Ratebeer Tasting and Cotteridge Gathering, Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham, Saturday 23rd June 2018. Beer number twelve. Pretty much black with a slim tan head. A touch boozy, plenty of chocolate, but very, very drinkable and up there with the Cloudwater Imperial Chocolate Speyside thing I just had as another corking Imperial Stout. A7 A4 T8 P5 Ov16 4.0

Flaska från Martin, delad under bottleshare. Svart med mörkbrun krämig krona. Rostat och sött med toner av whisky, vanilj, kokos, kokosolja och lönnsirap. Ganska stor kropp åt det kladdiga hållet. Fatkaraktär och viss alkoholhetta. Konstigt nog lyser chokladen ganska mycket med sin frånvaro - trots att grundölen är en riktigt chokladbomb.
