Can, Black. Salted licorice in the aroma. Malty sweet, soft roasty, caramelly flavor with dominant salted licorice. Thick mouthfeel. Creamy mouthfeel. Pleasant.

330ml bottle. Pours black with a huge thick tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, roast malts. Taste is very roasty, bitter, coffee, dark chocolate, caramel, that really is some massive bitterness, aftertaste is all bitter roasty flavours. Full body, smooth.

440 ml can, canned 25 Sep 18 Pitch black body, with a medium, creamy, dark coffee-colored head. Aroma of espresso, dark chocolate, soy sauce, liquorice, molasses, chocolate fudge. Tastes similar, with a moderate booze. Full, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes warm, roasty, medium bitter, subtly sweet, wooden, with coffee, soy sauce, liquorice, dark chocolate. Tasty! Big, straight and robust, with lovely roast and dark chocolate notes and a subtle, oily sweetness. Really well balanced, smooth to drink for the strength, with just enough alcohol. Great Imperial Stout without gimmicks! Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17
