Brown with fleeting, beige. Aroma of dark chocolate, sherry barrel, fudge. Taste is bitter with mild sour undertones. Surprisingly delicate—I prefer my impys a little chewier. Roasted bitter finish. Alcohol well hidden. Not a lot of nuance but pleasant.

(Draft at Manifest Taproom, Berlin, 16 July 2025. Vintage 2022) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with liquorice, black coffee and black rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of liquorice, black rye bread, coffee, cacao, dark chocolate and a balanced roasty bitterness. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich and tasty, on the boozy side. Very nice.
