19th July 2021; Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie, five of us splitting 16 different beers, t'was a good night! Thanks Simon for this monster brew, 330ml bottle of lushness. Black bodied, off-white/beige top. Coconut front to the nose, calms down a bit in the taste, but it's there attacking the malty goodness and alcohol in this creamy and far to easy to drink Imp Stout; is it really 17% ABV?

330ml bottle @ Free-Dumb tasting, Chez Sophie, July 21. Lashings of cakey desert-like coconut and chocolate coming through on the nose, sweet oily palate. Decadent, creamy, unctious almost, but drinks exceptionally well for 17%, feeling around half its strength. A real pleasure to sip.

21st June 2021: Monthly Beer Share, Chez Sophie in Shrewsbury. Only four of us this time around. Cheers Simon for the 330ml bottle of this 'strange brew'. Lovely lady on the front label! Anyway it poured a mean black colour with an off-white/cream head. Dark fruits and some heat in the taste, aroma more herbal and piney than fruity. Split the room taste and likeability wise.
