330ml bottle. Pours jet black with no head. Aroma is boozy marshmallow, chocolate and roast. Taste is sweet throughout with marshmallow, roast and alcohol. A bit thin and flat.

Opaque dark brown beer, a few dark tan bubbles don't come anywhere near to forming a head. Palate is suspiciously light for the very hefty abv and is almost flat carbonation wise. Smooth dark malts, a kind of cheap tasting dark chocolate. Sweet candy fruits and some mild esters. Whisper of sweet coffee. Smooth finish. Ummmm.. yeah, no alcohol spice no alcohol heat but this is 17%? Nah I don't think so. Just a sweet and flat Impy that is clunky but not something I find myself actively disliking. Curious affair.

Murky amber beer, thin head. Fruity aroma. Flavour has fruit, toasty malt, a bit of hop. Earthy malt finish with the fruit lingering as well. Not bad.

Tap, half-pint, shared with Finn at Burger + Beer Store, Kings Cross. Remaining beige head leaving lacing rings on the glass, pitch black in the glass. Vanilla sweet chocolate aromas, attractive. Creamy chocolate malts to the taste character, lactose beneath, slightly ice-cream impression. Smoothly roasted end, with sweet chocolate. Pretty nice sipper. (London 22.11.2021)

Keg at The Star & Garter, Bromley. Black pour with a tan head. Aromas of chocolate orange, oodles of sweet spices, ginger. Flavours of ginger, chocolate orange, hint of sweet tobacco, cappuccino, prunes, cinnamon, cloves. Pure Christmas in a glass. Rich sweet gullet warming finish. Very nice indeed.
