Very dark brown with thin head. Lots of positives with the base elements of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. The problem is the extremely watery body that fails to carry the flavour through.

Towards the end of session, I dislike tasting a beer that I have expanded anticipation for. I liked the standard Inglorious Quad considerable. With barrel aging I expect more. We shall see. And now. Curiously the Straffe Hendrik snifter was the glass of choice tonight and now it gets to receive IQ Whisky Infused. Good start, the pour is a dark pecan in color and has a surprisingly large and persistent medium tan head. I lift for a smell, yes, it is good. Candi sugar, malt, dark plums, currants and brown sugar. The taste is equivalent with the addition of a bourbon booziness. A stout drink in multiple ways, it has been a fine evening.

Bottle from BIAB, cheers Fin as you got it there as well. Pretty black, big tan head, nose has chocolate malt and sweetness, not much heavy roast. Flavor is a bit tutti frutti on the first sip, moderately sweet up front / mid fading to a light roasted barley finish. Not as bitterly hoppy as I expected from the name, less than the average imperial stout. I like the chewy character of the roast aftertaste. Expected more body for nearly 9%, but it's pretty good nonetheless. Dangerously, I could down 2 of these as easy as a couple of 12oz Guinness.

Pours rather unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is mild, some hops, restrained malts. Taste is full, bit bitter, malty, mild grassy hops. Restrained fruity aspects. not bad.

Bottle picked up from Belgiuminabox, webshop, Antwerp, Belgium and consumed at home Saturday 21st November 2820. We had a great Spinach and Ricotta lasagne and are listening to a random selection of music tonight. Pours hazy dark murky brown edging towards black with a slim tan head. The nose offers a roastiness, a little coffee and a hint of vanilla. Flavour is little wishy-washy if truth be told, however it's got chocolate, some dark fruits,a little nutty, hoppiness coming through, but overall a tad disappointing, bit watery. Tastes more like a BIPA/Imperial Stout hybrid.
