Bottle. Thanks to Kamiel for this one! Opaque dark brown/black liquid with small to medium tan head. Some lacing, good head retention. Aroma of dark fruit, chocolate, port, belgo yeast esters, caramel, licorice, pumpernickel, red fruit and some very light ash/coffee action. Taste is light sweet, light to medium sour and light to medium bitter with notes of biscuit and wine. The sourness is really nice and fruity, didn’t expect it to be sour at all. Works well actually! Medium to full bodied with nice carbonation and smooth mouthfeel. Enjoyed this quite a lot. The sourness makes it really stand out from other impys.

Bottle at the 2nd East Croydon Beer Tasting. It pours opaque black, with a thin beige head. The nose is soy sauce, varnish, salted liquorice, cherry, and ripe blueberry. The taste is surprisingly fruity: blueberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, as well as liquorice, subtle chocolate and light varnish. The alcohol is very well hidden. Full body, fine carbonation and very good balance. A tasty, fruity imperial stout.

Bottle at East Croydon Beer Tasting. Pours opaque black with a standard beige head. Aroma holds a lot dark fruits, hard alcohol, chocolate. Very sweet flavor, lots of fruit, dark and slightly tangy, very faint alcohol. Surprisingly little roast. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warm finish, fairly dry, some ripe and tangy fruits, mild booze. Very nice. Atypical impy.

Bottle. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, fruit, dark chocolate and licorice. The same in the rather vinous taste, also some sour notes. Not that heavy. A good but not a brilliant Imperial Stout.

Bottle from Alvinne. Poured black with a large tan head. Aroma of dark toasted malt and floral hop. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavors of roast dark malt and chocolate, but it is somewhat vinous and seems to end with a slight sour note.

Short-lived cream head; near-black beer with brown-red reflections. Thick malty, even molasses nose, rather restrained roasted/burnt notes. Bit like an overdone peperkoek. Roasted notes, coffee, with typical stout/roasted barley sourness, faintly lactic. Alcohol fairly hidden, but sweetness is there; Very spritzy, carbonated MF, despite the visual absence. Well-bodied, alcohol traceable by the throatwarming. Misses a bit in character, especially in the finish, at least compared to other I.S. This is where you learn what New World hops are for.
