473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a small, foamy, short lived, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, milk chocolate, vanilla and faint coffee. Sweet flavour of lightly roasted malt, lactose, milk chocolate and day old coffee in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Not bad, but I would like to try this on nitro.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy magenta with a medium, foamy, short lived, pale pink head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, cranberry, raspberry, pomegranate, yogurt and hibiscus. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, pomegranate, cranberry, cherry, yogurt and rosehip in a dry, slightly tart, acidic finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. The name is misleading. This is more sweet than sour, but it is tasty and refreshing.

Tasting at Phill's, bottle
Black colour. Mild malt and chocolate flavour and aroma, the body is a bit thin for the style, there's some roast and ash in the finish, burnt hazelnut, strong alcohol but not clearly marked as bourbon.
It's ok.

Jet black brown with a decent beige head. Lots of boozy barrel notes with chocolate roast. Chocolate, bourbon barrel and toffee. A long boozy finish.

650mL bottle, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma reveals a robust bourbon barrel character upfront, subdued cocoa, and medium roast. Flavour is rich , with lots of bourbon barrel character upfront, lots of chocolate, and prominent roasted malt. Really nice bourbon character, without being too boozy, though there definitely is some warming. The mouthfeel is a little thin There are more complex and better integrated BA impie stouts out there for sure, but this is nothing to scoff at. Very good.
