Imperial Stout - BA Sherry Cask

At Merton Winter Beer Festival 2018. Black beer cola colour lasting tan head. Less harsh on aroma than the brandy version. I'd like to know what sherry cask this was. Dry oloroso? Chocolate tar dryness. Some sweetness. Tar molasses. I rather liked it. Again hid abv well. No heat. Good.

On tap at Merton Beer Festival, Merton, Oxon, Friday 23rd 2018 in the company of Ratebeerians Bobinlondon and Ryan. Pours black with a slim head that rapidly departed. Nice aroma the sherry really is shining through. This is an Imperial Stout very much in the more traditional old style, feels robust, meaty I get a little oxo or beef stock, the sherry present in the mouth as well. I would like a little more sweetness and perhaps more smooth chocolate, that's not too say that I didn't like it, because I do, however just wanted a more indulgent edge to this. If I like at the more traditional style Imperial Stouts/Porters then I would argue that Courage and Harveys do it for me both offering a level of complexity and tang to a big beast of a beer.A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.4
