Mother Kelly’s. Keg. Hazy deep amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Smooth and mildly creamy malts. Really nice combo of marmalade, orange peel and red berry fruits. Mild hop spice. The berry and marmalade vibe is vibrant. Light airy finish. Very well joined up and super drinkable.

Almost opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Unusual candy fruit nose. Palate is airy and semi dry, mild fine carbonation. The dark malts have mild roast and mild dark chocolate. Mellow spice. Tangy dark fruits overlaid with that candy sweets thing from the nose. Light semi dry finish. Tasty and a little unusual.

Bright clear gold beer, good white head. Palate starts smooth but has a fine minerally crispness on the back end. Light pale malts. Hops are mild to medium citrus with smooth pine and a little hop spice. Smooth dry finish. Nice but could be a tad crisper.

Keg at CASC. It pours near black with a decent beige head. The nose is bitter-sweet, roasty, toasty caramel, chocolate and liquorice. The taste is smooth, bitter-sweet, roasty, dark fruits, plum, liquorice, cocoa, earth and candied peel with a easy-going finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. A lot easier going that expected. A session Impy stout? Not so complex, but tasty.

Bottle at Ravintola Kirjakauppa, Pori. Opaque black color, creamy brown head. Aroma is roasted, licorice and perharps even a bit milky. Medium-bodied to full-bodied. Roasted, licorice, light cocoa, hoppyness. Long lingering roastyness in the aftertaste. Some alcohol. Ok impy.
