1st August 2025
ADTWD team tasting in sunny Halzlemere. Near opaque dark brown beer, small tan head that last no time at all. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Rich dark chocolate malts, ice cream van chocolate syrup. A little earthy dark chocolate. The marshmallow element is obvious, quite the berry fruits, so my head says pink marshmallows. Smooth and semi dry finish brings a mild spice. Super adept use of marshmallows in an Impy.

On tap at Cycle, pours black with a tiny brown head. Aroma is dominated by toasted marshmallow and cocoa upfront, with soft bourbon in back. Flavour is rich, with big bourbon barrels, some bitter cocoa, and soft marshmallow. Low-to-moderate residual sugars. Well-integrated and refined, but has a sharp edge to it on the finish that seems like a minor imperfection. Still, excellent.
