"I think i'm getting the black lung pop. It's not very well ventilated down there" this really, really, ridiculously good looking fifth incarnation of our muchly-beloved peated stout (this year aged in px barrels) will leave you gasping for that last breath of clean air before succumbing to the intense chocolate, roasty, shmokin', fortified-y flavour.

Bottle shared with friends. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin broken light tan head. The aroma is smoky ashtray malt. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light fruity cherry citrus smoky roast palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

From a 330ml bottle on 10/9/2015. Pours close to black with a tiny tan head. The nose features chocolate, caramel, soy and fudge. Taste wise, it’s primarily chocolate and soy, with a bit of smoke and the tiniest touch of peat. It’s sweet with a very modest bitterness, with the listed 41 IBU a tad surprising. The texture is slick and the carbonation soft. While reasonably tasty, it’s quite subdued for an impy, with nothing really standing out. Okay but a bit prosaic.

Bottle. PX barrel this time. Black with a scant coat of tan head. Fudgy mocha aroma with some char and a little smoke, prunes, peppery oak. Low carbonation, rather lighter body than you might expect (hmm). There’s mocha and roasted flavours but the vinous and fruity things more than hold their own. The peat is not domineering but comes through fairly strongly at the woody and slightly astringent end. Interesting. Would have liked more stout and less peat and barrel.
