Poured from 330mL bottle (bb 30/12/2026). It was warm stored when I purchased it late summer and had intended to drink it much earlier. Clear amber gold with small white head. Mild toffee malt, super feint smoked whiskey, very muted resin hops, definitely should have been consumed younger for more hop profile (I just let this sit in the fridge with the intention of sharing it, but never had an opportunity to so just decided to finally drink it). Okay.

330ml @ Ryan's.
Aroma: coffee, some sweetness, roasted malt, Belgian esters.
Taste: along the same lines, very low carbo, some caramel.
Overall: feels diluted, lacks intensity. It is a meh, but not a real disaster.

Poured from 330mL bottle (bb 10/08/2026). Dark brown with small off white head. A thin-ish bodied oatmeal stout with Belgian yeast. Inoffensive, not all that interesting, but it's fine.

500ml bottle from Aldi Inverurie. It pours darkest brown to black with a small, but lasting dark tan head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, charred, bitter - sweet, cookie dough, burnt treacle, cacao nibs, toasty brown sugars and a splash of cola. The taste is dark roasted malt, nip of spicy alcohol, slightly charred, burnt toast, slightly phenolic, umami, liquorice, toothy, cooking chocolate, earthy and toasty with a toasty finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Decent enough double stout. Good bang for your buck.

Decent easy drinkable session ipa. Especially at this alcohol level.
Not that thin texture.
Pale malt, fruity, herbal and citric.

500ml bottle (Bring Out The Imp !!, not 11), a present from my mate Gordon. Poured into my Gordon thistle shaped glass (twice) at home on 17th October 2025. Black with a fast fading tanned wispy head. Malty, woody and slightly yeasty, interesting and different.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small white head. Aroma has a very pronounced English bready malt character upfront, some earthiness, and light oats. Flavour is almost more like a Scottish ale in malt character, sweet esters, light oats, and toasted bread. Very thin-bodied, too estery, and just not convincing as a stout. Okay.
