0.33 l bottle from the brewery's web shop, best before December 2028. Pitch black with a thin, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, quite roasty, gently spicy aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice root, cinnamon and gingerbread. Heavily sweet, malty, quite roasty, moderately bitter, quite spicy taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice root, cinnamon, roasted hazelnut, tonka and gingerbread, followed by a medium long, quite roasty-bitter finish. Full body, smooth and oily mouthfeel, almost flat. Delicious Impy, very christmasy, truly a guilty pleasure.

Dark brown. The aroma has a bit of alcohol, and on the palate it has fruity notes, decent roast, a bit of alcohol. It’s decent, a bit rough, caramel note. Not bade.

330mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has soft roasted malt, some earthy hops, and gentle wood. Flavour is robust, with lots of roasted malt, wood, and ample hops. Roasty, wood, and well-balanced. Very good.

0.75 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', best before December 2028, slow gusher. Hazy, dark reddish brown with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity, moderately roasty and a little funky aroma of caramel, cognac, raisins, some chocolate and light brett. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently vinous-fruity, slightly resiny and a little funky taste of caramel, chocolate, cognac, raisins, some red berries, light oak and traces of brett, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, a little boozy finish. Medium body, minimally astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Maybe a bit infected, has a touch of brett and feels a little fizzy. Bummer.

Can from Mr Hop beer advent calendar Day 13 I believe, though clearly being consumed over a week late on day 21. We picked this up directly from the webshop, Vernray, Netherlands. Consumed at home Sunday 21st December 2025 after meeting up with Kerry, Oli and family at the International Weihnachtsmarkt in Bayerisch Eisenstein, we're watching some of the performances of Live Aid back in 1985, not sure why but it's very interesting. For tea we had, Clams, Feta, Chorizo in a rich tomato and onion sauce. Pours dark brown, unclear, there's an off white head.Warming from the off though surprisingly it's not a really boozy beer. Smooth slightly thick in the mouth, hints of toffee and caramel but dried dark fruits and a richness flood through. A very good beer and very drinkable considering the hefty abv. Score 7.3
