Each batch of Diabolus has been a variation on the theme of Temptation. This variation has been aged in Rioja wine casks for almost 1 year. The rioja has imparted vinous and oak quaities, slightly souring and cutting through the weight of the orginal Imperial Stout. Only 720 bottles produced.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - black and mat. Beige to fawn head. Nose - figs and dates, wood, toffee, banana, booze and chocolate (because I'm looking for it). Taste - more dried fruit, booze, banana, chocolate and wood. Palate - medium to full bodied with a rich middle and finish. Overall - very nice.
