bottle at home.. August 2020.. dark black... massive tan head collapsing to thin tan hea.. soft sweet blackcurrant.. soft woody.. almost nutty chocolate roast malts nose.. over fizzy.. little licorice.. rich dark chocolate... sweet malt roast... dark spiced orange.. rich roast... not fond of fizzy body but otherwise lovely

Opens with only a faint hiss. It pours oily her black with a only a few bubbles on the cap. The aroma is rich and oily, sweet, milk chocolate, maltesers, toffee crisp, fudge, vanilla, plenty of whisky character, some spice, damp oak, earth and honeycomb crunch. The taste is slick, oily, sticky, roasted malt, earthy, chewy, coffee, milk chocolate, dark chocolate torte, mars bar, big hit of whisky, toffee crisp, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, teacakes, wagon and some warming whisky through the finish. Fulsome body, slick mouth-feel and just a touch of carbonation. Surprisingly good. Nice whisky character which integrates well with the base beer. Would get a higher if it was in better condition, but still pretty great tbh. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) Cadenhead's 13.SVB.121.A12. Imperial Milk Stout on 14 Dec 2020 at 17:04 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: Bottle picked up in Aberlour. Shared with my bro. It pours black with just a touch of kahki bubbles on the lid. The aroma is rich roasted malt, savoury, sticky malts, molasses, umami, liquorice, whisky, dull permanent marker pen, earthy, burnt toffee, damp oak, hint of smoke, roasted coconut, vanilla, rocky road and coffee grounds. The taste is slick, chewy, toothy, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, vanilla, milk chocolate, maltesers, rocky road, fudge, teacakes, marshmallow, jammy wagon wheel, whisky, just a touch of alcohol (nowhere near 12%) and some dull oak with a slick, sweetish finish. Fulsome body, light carbonation and slick mouth feel. Again like the other one carbonation is a touch low, but it's flavourful and interesting. Nice.

330ml bottle from Lidl. Light hazy gold with a lively white head. Floral and citrus aroma, flavour is grassy, floral, a little citrus. Ok

Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy muddy copper with a frothy white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, peach candy, peach soda, gummy bears, slightly artificial, earthy and musty. The taste is sweet - sour, tangy peach, earthy, peach soda, sherbet, cola cubes, sour candy, damp wood and mild acidity with a dry finish. Average body and fine, foamy carbonation. A bit muddy if truth be told. It's ok, but wish it was brighter and tarter.

Bottle from an advent box. Pours near-black with a dark red hue and a short-lasting creamy head, aroma is of roasted malt and there is some sweetness hidden within the dark fruit and chocolate flavours that are evident. Not a bad little drop, just a little thinner than hoped for

Cask at Robin Hood Beer Festival 2019. Dark brown with beige head. Some roastiness, moderate chocolate, cocoa, licorice, some fruity notes. Sweet. Medium bodied.

Fizzy malty bitter, with a hint of caramel.
