This Imp stout poured a deep black colour with a deep brown coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include dark roasted coffee, alcohol, black toast and Melloids cough drops. First swig was very bold flavoured with tastes of coffee, cocoa and burnt toast. Slightly sweet finish, with strong sweeter coffee flavours lingering.

Can from the LCBO. Dark ruby, mahogany pour, with a medium beige head. Aroma is noble, and grassy, with a bready nutty malt bill. Clean and crisp mouth feel, solid carb. Medium bitter, nutty, light caramels, hints of hop. Nice stuff.

Typical rice lager, fizzy, yellow, faint cereals. Has a very herbal quality though. Bitterness is a medium, higher than expected. Its fine, hints of green tea? a bit odd....meh.

Quite toasty, dark brown pour, with a medium tan head. Caramel cereals, slightly bready, toasty, semi sweet. This is leaning towards dark toasty brown ale. Medium bitter. Not bad, but pretty robust for the style i think.

Hazy copper, with a large beige head. Aroma is thick bourbon, oak, vanilla, and cocoa powder with some spruce tips and sherry. Silky mouth feel, light carb, full mouth feel, medium to high bitterness. Semi sweet, slightly bozy, huge malts, toffee, and caramel, with big spruce and pine resins. Barrel is big, but not over powering. Oak and vanilla abound, hints of fig and cocoa powder.
