Cask at Chelmsfaasarhd Beer Fest. Almost clear deep brown beer, good bubbly pale tan head. Soft smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Overall, pretty light for the abv. Smooth rich chocolate malts, a nice chocolate biscuit vibe. There is a decent balance of dark and mild chocolate here, slightly more mild chocolate. Some ripe fruits on the fairly light and semi dry finish. If you told me this had spent a short spell in a whiskey or bourbon barrel, I would believe you. A pretty tidy Impy, simple-ish but very drinkable.

Couple of samples at Great British Beer Festival 2023, Olympia, London. A black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, dark chocolate, dark fruit taste and aroma. This was quite boozy.

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter festival i Burton-Upon-Trent. Svart. Mokkafarget filmskum. Lett krydderaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken kokos, lakris & sjokolade. Tørr, krydderaktig avslutning. Alkoholen godt skjult.
