From a 500ml bottle on 9/10/2016. Pours close to black with a biggish head. The nose is light chocolate malt but subdued when compared with the taste. The flavour of big, bold and sweet - lots of chocolate, cocoa and fudge, a touch of caramel and roasted malt. The palate is lovely - thick and creamy, with fairly lively carbonation for the style. A really nice chocolatey impy. Really liking the stuff these guys are producing.

From a 500ml bottle on 4/10/2016. Pours a cloud reddish brown, with a big foam head. Has a pleasant sweet nose featuring fruit, light caramel and toffee, lollies. Taste wise, it’s sweet, malty and fruity, with more light caramel and toffee and a hint of yeast. The hops sets off the sweetness really nicely. The body is full and the texture slick, with the carbonation average to lively. This apparently won a best beer award at recent UK beer show and I can understand the plaudits. A very enjoyable and quite impressive brew.

Sampled from 0.5 l bottle at RBBSG 2016 in Evergem. Hazy, very dark brown with a beige head. Sweetish, roasty-malty aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and some licorice. Sweetish-malty, moderately roasty taste of dark chocolate, coffee and licorice, followed by a medium long, moderately roasty-bitter and quite dry finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

Thank you for sharing Beerhunter111! 500 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG V. BBF 10.2016. Black, little mocha head. Nose is herbal, low roast, light vegetable roast, some plant-like bitterness. Body is a bit fizzy & this influences the taste which is likewise fizzy with black licorice, candy, herbal, leaves, low roast. Taste is better than the smell, who isn’t particularly impressive especially given the though competition & expectations within this style.
