It’s a triple imperial stout with lots of stuff in it. It’s full of beans, three different types in fact (coffee, vanilla and cocoa). It’s 11% and black. You wouldn’t neck it very fast, it will be seriously expensive for one thing. Also, you wouldn’t drink much of it because of the intense flavours. It is unlikely to cause major drunken behaviour mainly because it is aimed at beer geeks rather than tramps.

330ml bottle for Christmas breakfast. Pours pitch black with a small head. Aroma is oily coffee, some tar and a little alcohol. Taste has bitter coffee and tar to start. Sweet roast. Finish is a bit short and could do with some more carbonation.

Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Very black, no head. Huge coffee and vanilla aroma. Sweet, full bodied. Huge and dense, burnt sugar, vanilla and caramel. Fiercely alcoholi finish with low bitterness. Another over the top vanilla imperial stout.

Bottle at Pat’s birthday tasting at chriso’s. Pours oily brown with a fine, beige head. Filter coffee aroma. Very sweet flavor, plenty of coffee, roasted malts, boozy sting, chocolate. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Warm finish, dark fruits, cocoa, coffee, sweet mocha, light booze, light bitterness. All the elements don’t quite come together perfectly, but the elements on their own still make for an interesting beer. The condition is not ideal. (3.7)
Bottle at Bruce’s Housewarming Party Tasting, London. Just a massive beer overall. Extreme pure coffee character with tons of dark, raw sugar and hints of booze. Thick, rich, and lightly syrupy. (3.7)
