A bottle I swerved at the last tasting coz I already 'ad one, innit? A near opaque dark brown beer, small dark tan head. Smooth airy palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth dark malts, a good creamy dark chocolate. Good coconut, sweet. A little alcohol spice. Smooth soft coffee. Some rum and bourbon barrel like rich ripe fruits. Smooth finish brings a little alcohol burn. Very good stuff. For the most part, belies its hefty abv and delivers a rich and rewarding Impy smorgasbord of goodness.

Can at De Markies, Leeuwarden. Tart fruit puree aroma with lots of raspberry, blackberry, some blueberry. Red and dark fruits to chew on. Fruit smoothie mouthfeel. Pleasant, would have liked it a bit more sour.
