750ml bottle (BB 27/06/21) from JB's Brewhouse in Jersey. Pours red with next to no head. Aromas & tastes of raspberries, cranberries, cherry, redcurrant, strawberry, wood, bread & vinegar. Medium body. Long dry sour acidic finish. Enjoyable at first then a little underwhelming

BBN tap room, keg. Almost cloudy gold beer, thin and short lived off white head. Palate is pretty light for this hefty abv it's mildly dry and has decent fine carbonation. Thin but sweetish malts do a good job of supporting the big spicy hope that also bring a little hop burn. Piney and juicy citrus, tangerine, orange and a little grapefruit,. trace pineapple and the well judged touch of lychee blends in well. Some citric peel near the finish which is semi dry and brings a whiplash of hop sting. Nice job, very nice, slightly thin and dry but properly Holly and delivering a complex hop fruit array and plenty of hop kick. Most importantly, considering the abv, so very drinkable.

Can. No fucken idea how the numbers part of Brew By Numbers works anymore, very solid system turned to jelly! Anyway, an opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, cocoa dark chocolate, obvious and a bit artificial but fine. Tangy and bitterish dark chocolate in the mid gives this brew a maturity it needed. The cherry comes through loud and clear on the back end, ripe cherry, a little maraschino cherry and a whisper of cherry brandy. Light and semi dry finish. Nice. This Impy needs to warm up a bit. Out the fridge it tastes a bit clunky and simplistic. A few degrees closer to room temperature reveals many more and better integrated layers.
