Mild resiny almost flowery hoppy aroma, full bodied, almost buttery. Flavor is less buttery and less flowery and more hoppy, more malty, sweet malty, hoppy bitter. A pretty solid sweet double ipa with some flavor notes that almost feel like barley wine. Good stuff

can dark brown, fizzy soon dissapearing brown head. aroma is heavy on the raspberries, rounded off by roasted malts.also notes that reminds me of anise. the imp stout part is somewhat light, no booze, no wood, etc. coffee blends in so much it is hardly detectable, the berries seems to suck in any other notes. The balance in the flavor tilts over to the more ordinary imp stout notes of hard roasted malts, coffee, fainter notes of wood, vanilla, raspberries. the berries adds a lighther more fruity fruitiness than would for instance a port wine barrelling, so in a way more refreshing, however, if this is good is liekly up to a personal preference.

can from beergium. No brewed date or best before date on the can so I don't know how fresh or vintage it is. Pours dark brown with a brown head.medium strong roasted malty aroma as well as caramel and perhaps some faint bitter spices. flavor is sweet roasted malty, baking powder like sweetness, fresh coconut juice, bourbon like sweetness, lies in a strange place between a bourbon stout and a pastry stout. The flavor grows on you and it ends up tasting like a fine-dine dessert. mouthfeel is a bit troubeling, it's like water with dough particles in it. hard to describe, but doesn't feel right. (no off flavors so the beer is certanly not bad). Strange beer. Good winter warmer.

Tap at Neighborhood, San Diego, CA, USA. Pours fairly hazy, pale gold, with fine white foam. Aroma is fruity, tropical, hoppy. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is medium bitter, maybe a little more, but not excessive. Final is average, with some more bitterness.
