Pours gold with a thin-ish sort of white colored head of foam. The aroma emits sweet apples, loads of herbal rosemary, basil and anise. Nice and interesting for sure. The taste is similar with apple and pear and honey like sweetness riding on top of a firm degree of pleasing herbal goodness seemingly coming from the same characters noted in the nose; rosemary, basil and anise. Cool brew with plenty of interest and great balance of flavors.

12 oz bottle from bhensonb (maybe a 2004 since that is what he rated and because of the general characteristics of the beer?) Nose is light toffee, prunes, and an overall oxidized aroma. Murky lighter brown with a very slight bit of carbonation. Flavor is somewhat oxidized, toffee, and a bit of candi sugar. Body is somewhat watery. To be savored like a fine cognac?

Bottle. Strong oak, rye bread and old wine aroma. Murky brown. Very sweet nutty fruitcake (orange seems to dominate) and agave flavor. Not extremely thick like I would have expected. Really pretty good but I don’t want more than an ounce of it.

Bottle courtesy of Atom.Murky amber with no head. Big boozy oaky tequila and brown bread, sort of like fruit cake, aroma. Syrupy sweet agave, earthy, fruity (like fruitcake) flavor. At over !9% I was shocked at the lack of alcohol flavor or burn. Medium body, slightly astringent mouthfeel.

22oz bomber pours clear deep gold with tall two minute dirty tan head of tawdry foam. The aroma is cool with various light colored skin fruits like apple, mango as well as cranberry to berry notes sliding around on top of floral hops and faint saison spicy yeastiness. Lots going on there. The taste has sort of a grainy start before sweet fruity notes and honey come to the surface. It then picks up like sage and rosemary and a touch of black pepper. Another dig at the aroma as it warms yields herbally rosemary, sage and black pepper as noted in the flavor. Maybe the taste influenced the aroma some or sharpened my aromatic focus. This is cool stuff with a tasty mix of esters and spices and herbs.

Bottle from a trade with cbkschubert. Pours black with brown head. Roasted malt and chocolate aromas. Bittersweet milk chocolate and vanilla flavor with dark roasted malts and some espresso. Full body with minimal carbonation and thick and slick mouthfeel. Really nice beer if you like your impy stouts on the sweeter side. Thanks Craig.
