473ml can [thanks David!]. Jet black colour with small to average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Slightly chocolately, roasty dark malty and citrusy hoppy aroma, notes of coffee and dark chocolate, orange, mandarine, grapefruit, hints of scallions - Black IPA character overall. Taste is bitter, roasty dark malty and hoppy, notes of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, coffee, hints of grapefruit, a touch of tangerine and orange peel, subtle residual sweetness, notes of scallions; oily to viscous texture, creamy palate, lingering bitter finish. Imperial CDA in a way, extremely oily texture.

A lot of sharp roast. Some dark chocolate and caramel with a hint of mocha. Good balance. Very sharp bitter finish. Creamy consistency on nitro. Tap at Pipers pub.

Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a black color with a large creamy beige head that left good lacing. The aroma was malty and toasty with sweet chocolate syrup followed by floral and fruity hops. The flavor was sweet chocolate, bitter floral hops and a bit of red wine. Long finish with lingering hops. Moderately full bodied. Solid.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a pitch black color with a medium tan head. Huge sweet roasted malts and coffee nose. The flavor is sweet licorice, milky coffee, roast, lighter dark fruit. Very creamy. Bold. Damn good.

I was told it was the barrel aged but WTF? Can’t tell when the staff ain’t sure. Big & black with a choco moose head. Smells like any other good impy stout. Wew, first impressions is a big alky kick that laced my stout. A rototiller fer sure and it’s driven by nasty Nellie. A terribly on style beer wew. Provides a warming sensation all round, heheh. Long lasting impy stout impressions. I think I’m getting dizzy near the end of the session. Not impressed by the style but if you like this BS, better try it before its gone!
