330ml bottle. Opaque, darkest brown colour with average, thick, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, dark beige to tan head. Rather weak, roasty, spicy, minimally chocolately, dark malty and woody aroma, notes of liquorice, hints of calvados. Taste is initially bitter, roasty, spicy, dark malty, woody and slightly fruity, later additionally sweet-ish, chocolately, dark malty and slightly citrusy fruity hoppy, notes of liquorice and calvados, later some treacle, orange, mandarine, chocolate, a minimally alcoholic touch; needs some time to evolve and reach its peak. Slightly oily, watery texture, smooth and minimally cloying, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, dense, foamy to creamy carbonation. Rather weak aroma, more meaty taste, though not overly hoppy and a tad too sweet; closer to relatively hoppy Impy Stout than real Black IPA - decent.
