0,33l bottle at home bought at Pivoteka Nitra, Slovakia. BB area is empty. As Wharfe Bank Fang Imperial Stout "Brewed by people in Yorkshire" 7% ABV. black color, small coffee colored head. smells earthy, rather smoky, bitter chocolate, some ash, caramel, vanilla, stollwerk, very nice smell actually, surprisingly complex. full body, almost no carbonation, rather light mouthfeel. tastes earthy, quite ashy, some licorice, coffee grounds, peppery, rather bitter, also rather roasty. finishes quite roasty / bitter with notes of coffee grounds and ash. only on the very aftertaste some light vanilla and caramel notes creep though. rather quite unbalanced. rather bitter / roasty / dryish with not much to back up the flavors. also someone forgot to add some carbonation. lots of potential was ... wasted.
