Can that I picked up from Hereford Beer House and consumed at home Monday 16th June, we had a very nice Pastitsio for tea. Pours black with a tan head, faint aroma of chocolate, roasted malts and a little watery coffee. Soft, smooth, sweet with a roasty bitterness. It's an easy drinker and clearly a well put together Impy, but for me whilst I really like a well crafted no nonsense straightforward Impy Stout, this was just falling short and I'm not quite sure why, perhaps the barrel aged version will reveal more.

clear brown pour, giant light brown smooth head. nutty aroma, toasted malts, hazelnuts, somewhat dry, faint mineral waterish - faint slightly salty.
Flavor is quite sweet, malts sweets, red-cough candy like bitterness, end is candy and herbal bitter. quite unusiual flaovr for an imp stout.
