One of the best imperial stouts i have tried & I am no miso fan. Chocolate is dominant & the base stout is classy. Def buy again, I have bought a box.

Aromas of chocolate, licorice and - yes - plenty of miso that I would have characterised as Vegemite. I'm not sure if I love or hate the miso in the mouth. Can't really get a bead on this one.

(Can) Pours very dark brown with small brown head. Pleasant aroma of toasted malt and chocolate. Full smooth body with modest very fine carbonation. Pleasant rich taste. There’s a bitterness throughout the palate that hover between very dark chocolate and burnt sugar, maybe with hints of soy. There’s some balancing dark toffee sweetness, and nice chocolatey notes. Pleasant enough but the balance isn’t quite tight for my palate.

Can from Bottle Shop while camping on Sharp Island. Drank from can. Chocolate, slightly syrup, hard to taste miso but maybe adds umami? Palate slightly too sticky for me. Not bad, wouldn’t get again.

Draft at Orh Gao Taproom, Singapore. Poured almost black in colour with a lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, earthy, light vanilla. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, rich, herbal, earthy, light liqourice bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Quite a disappointment I must say. Lacked body and sweetness. The description says full bodied and bursting with luscious chocolate? There really was no chocolate. This is perhaps one of those commercial descriptions that was written before the beer was actually brewed, or maybe something went wrong in transit? Either way this wasn’t great.
