Bottle from BenH during Free Beer Week 2014. Big thanks. Dark purplish black, not much carbonation or head. Liquorice, plums, bit of charcoal and coffee. Sweet sugary taste with a bit of fruity plummy hop in the finish. Slightly thinner on the finish than one would expect. A proper imperial stout.

Bottle from BenH. Thanks a lot. Black beer lasting tan head. Tar and molasses aroma and liquorice. Bit too much liquorice for me. Good mouthfeel though. Not my kind of impy stout for flavour, but the mouthfeel is good. Thanks Ben.

Bottle courtesy of Vraig, cheers Craig. Had this in bottle at Bakewell Folk Festival, Derbyshire Saturday 16th August 2014 Pours black, a little coffee on the nose. Not as sweet as name suggests in fact the name is misleading (but only to me I guess). This is thick in mouth, a very solid and enjoyable Impy Stout, warming, but not too alcoholic, a pleasant smooth roastiness. It’s good. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.6

Drinkable affiar but low scoring for the style.
