Can ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Aroma is... well... lacking. Dialed down smoky cinnamon. Dark and inky. Tan tinge. Foamy tan head soon almost entirely disappears. Light bitter. As per the aroma there's a smoky cinnamon, alongside tar and salt liquorice. Booze. Definitely got a Nordic - Oulu - thing going down. Underlying maltiness. Medium bodied. Oily. Sticky. Long warming palate. Was expecting something much sweeter but this is lovely warming Impy that really works the cinnamon.

440ml can from Everyman's Wines. Pours dark with a dense tan topping. Aroma is woody with sweet dark fruits. Taste presents a pokey dark ale with a ballsy bitterness and some plump sweet malts, coarse woody echoes in the background. Not enough hop presence to put it in the Black IPA box, but certainly a characterful dark ale.
