Flight taster at Short Fuse. Good choice to start a journey of SEVEN taster samples. Bright gold color, thin layer of foam. malty nose with maybe a whiff of corn. A nice coat of lace stays with the glass all the way down. There's a definite American Light taste. Like a Hamm's or other old beer brands whose current corporate owners never fiddled with the recipe. Nice bit of fizziness throughout.

Flight taster at Short Fuse. Brown ale color, still some remnants of foam at the top. The smell has more coffee to it than anything else. Some coffee figures further down, though. But this is the last of a flight, so I may be discombobulated. The taste has a distinct vegetal quality you don't get with pumpkin spice ales. Don't know where the latte comes in, I would expect some milk sugar, but this has no extra sweetness. Just a bit different, which still makes it interesting

Taster at Short Fuse. I can surely smell cinnamon and maple here. Slightly brownish black color. Taste has very little coffee, actually. Just a mild cinnamon and strong malty taste. Nothing wrong with that at all. I'll hopefully have some other Impy Stout to compare to.

17 September 2022. At Tapster Wicker, Chicago. Shared with the lovely Anke!

Hazy ochre, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of ripe peach, pineapple, lychee, tangerine, honey. Taste has sweet peach & mango, bitter citrus peel and honey maltiness. Floral hoppy finish with stonefruit and perfumey notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very enjoyable.
