Thanks AFH for sharing. This is a reddish dark brown, a few big bubbles, some thin white head. it has a really nice smell. There’s a little vanilla, maybe some anise, cocoa powder and some roasty warming notes. The taste though, the bitterness hits you hard and lingers. I know Impies have a high IBU but something about the bitterness overshadows the rest of the beer. There’s still some chocolate, the 10% ABV is well hidden until you get a little alcohol taste that lingers with the finishing hops. DIK about this one.
