Bottle at Bruces’s new pad, thanks to Josh 15/10/13. Mid black with thinnish off white edgework. Nose is cocoa, light plastic, burnt sugar, marzipan. Taste comprises dark fruit, toffee fudge, brown sugars, molasses, chocolate. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finale. Tastes a little life expired not one to age perhaps?

Tasting at Bruce’s new pad. Thanks to Josh for bringing this over. Opaque dark brown beer with a small pale tan head. Palate starts smooth but has a light minerally crispness. Milky dark malt and light milk chocolate. Trace of dark fruits and a whisper of spice. Light dry finish. Nice beer!

Bottle with a bit of age on it thanks to Josh. It pours darkest brown with a small light tan head. The nose is roasty,caramel, toffee, juicy, honeycomb and coffee. The taste is roasted malt, toast, dark fruit, earth, mild tartness, cocoa and coffee with a dry, roasty finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Straight-forward and rather drinkable, if a little uneventful

From a 330ml bottle on 24/8/2013. Pours black with a small fine head. Has a very pleasant, quire rich aroma of mocha and caramel. Milk chocolate and caramel are most prominent once it hits the mouth, with a hint of coffee and soy in there as well. Finishes off with a firm, satisfying and long hop bitterness, with very subtle roasty hints. Has a slightly creamy body and modest carbonation typical of an impy. Hides the 8.1% really well, and is a beautifully balanced and well integrated brew. Very nice indeed.
