Can. Near clear deep brown beer, small tan head. Very smooth palate, decent superfine carbonation on the back end. Soft smooth and fairly rich dark malts, a nice dark malt creamy sweetness, some dark chocolate Malteasers. Soft but pleasing cappuccino, really comes through on the back end. The 3 barrel aged treatments blend together as smooth and rich and ripe fruity with a mild tangy bitterness. The plum whiskey asserts with a berry fruitiness that keeps the other two barrels light. Smooth finish, slightly savoury and slightly tangy bitter fruity. Nicely done. A rich and smooth Impy with an impressive barrel aged blend that really works. Nice sweet and bitter contrast.

Malm� February tasting - dark sweet roasted malty with smooth rich chocolate, molasses, whisky rum notes, dark rich fruit, full bodied, whisky infused lingering warming malty finish.
