Keg at CBJ - cheers! Pours oily black-brown with a slight, creamy tan head. Big sweet flavour, lovely dark malts, cocoa, loads of dark fruits, dates, figs, raisins, wood, earth. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Sticky and warming finish. An outstanding small-dose sipper.

Keg at CBJ. Opaque dark brown black beer, small dark tan head. Smooth viscous palate, decent fine carbonation. Rich dark malts, good dark chocolate, very mild touch of roast and an even lighter touch of coffee. The coconut rum barrel provides smooth but spicy rum with a little toasted coconut. Softer coconut with more obvious rum on the back end. Leaves a mild spicy linger and a modest warmth. Another corking Impy from this brewery. Well worth the cost even at £7 for a third.

Keg at Craft Beer Junction, Bermondsey, 26/05/23. Black with a tan head that dissipates and formed the figure 6 in a swirl! Nose is dark malts, molasses, chocolate, brown sugar melt, toffee fudge, light perfume. Taste comprises coconut shavings, mellow roast, muscovado sugars, Bounty Bar, brown sugar melt, chocolate. Full bodied, oily viscous on the palate, semi drying close with a nip of room at the boost stage. Solid decadent stuff.
