Pours black as the night with a a tan head.Nose shows liquorice, solventy booze and roasted malt. Too young perhaps?Similar flavours with roasted malt, coffee, heavy liquorice and lots of booze.Too highly carbonated.The overt booze is the main problem holding this back.

From a 330ml bottle on 23/10/2012. Pours almost black with a small to medium tan head. Has a modest roasty, chocolatey aroma. The flavour follows suit, with milk chocolate and some roasty notes prominent. There is some moderate bitterness to balance what is a relatively sweet stout. A solid effort.

From a 330ml botttle on 14/10/2012. Pours a cloudy golden with a small white head, with some yeast floaties present. Has a very mild fruity aroma. The flavour is more impressive, with a big pile of citrus notes up front, some biscuity malt and quite a firm hop bitterness at the back. Has a touch of Cooper’s Pale about it, but is quite distinctive in its own right. A solid pale ale.

ChrisOs Kook Tasting. Had a few by this one! Light sweet dark malt. Not bad but a little dry. Banana aftertaste.

On tap at the Sail & Anchor, Fremantle 7/04/2012. Amber with a slight white head. Aroma of citrus hops and biscuit malts. Flavour had more of the same, with a slightly yeasty edge and bitter finish. Good.

Christmas tasting at the Kernel. Opaque black beer, thick tan head. Light soft palate, semi dry. Smooth dark malts, not roasty or bitter. Some well balanced dark fruits. A little aniseed alcohol before the dark malt turns tangy. Smooth finish. Not a hugely complex Impy Stout but this one charms with the richness and smoothness of it’s delivery. Nice!

Bottle at The Kernel Christmas Tasting 2011. Big thanks to Kenneth for this one. Pours muddy black with a hugely dense, rich beige head. Looks gorgeous. Sweet, dark malt aroma, with perhaps some coconut and mild roast. Medium to big sweet flavor, notes of dark malts, mild roast, cocoa, some wood, charred wood. Medium to full bodied with average to heavy carbonation. Lightly warm finish with a mild carbonation tang, ashy and chalky malts, some cocoa, moderate lingering roast, some burnt sugar. Pretty solid and nicely balanced big beer.

Pours a thick jet black with reasonably-sized head that quickly fades to a thin layer.Huge chocolate and coconut aroma wafts from the glass along with the expected roasted expresso. Lovely sweet background reminds me of morning coffee on the way to uni. Very slight hops aroma.Huge roasted malts/grains hit, slightly offset by acidic tang. Well countered by lasting bitterness. Taste doesn’t quite impress as much as the aroma.Rather smooth, but quite lively carbonation (more than I expected at least). Was also expecting it to be a tad creamier.Aroma is what really defines this beer. A very enjoyable stout none the less.
