Imperial March, stop 3. Biggest of the lot. Stunningly good. Was already a wonderfully rich, chocolaty beer, but the barrel aging gives it a little more complexity with hints of the bourbon and vanilla.

Imperial March 2025, stop 2. Very nice, but the borbon dominates a bit much for my tastes. Smooth and rich.

Stop 1 on the Imperial March. Fruity, with the barrel flavours hitting in the finish.

Coffee and blueberries might have been in my shopping trolley at the same time, but maybe not consumed together before. Looks more raspberry than blueberry, but the latter is more evident, although sweeter than its natural flavour, perhaps the very evident coffee plays its part in this. It also dominates its aftertaste.
