Thin off white head stayed on a clear tea coloured still body. Big malty aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the front with a sharp back. Malt, berries, spices, tea & tangy fruit tastes. Classic 1980's!

behűtve nem adja ki. igazán magát. szellőztetve-sétáltatva egy kicsit már kibontakozik. a gyengéd malátás édesség. könnyed. kis angol papírszárazság. ami nedves. értitek. mer én nem. mindenesetre ízlik.

500mL bottle, pours a crystal clear copper with a tiny white head. Aroma is cheap and buttery, with butterscotch, and some metallic notes. Flavour is no different, with lots of butterscotch, brutish bready malt, and light metallic character. Very low-quality, cheap brew, but not entirely offensive.

Bottle (2011) from my cellar. Pours black with a medium sized tan head, good lacing. Dark malts, licorice, dark fruit, leather and mild hot alcohols. Smooth, very good.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

One of those 'how the hell have I not rated this beers'. I've certainly had it before. A 2012 bottle. No 122989 of 200000 to be precise. Ffs! Almost fully opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth and airy palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Tangy dark malts, touches of cream, dark chocolate and some oxidisation induced caramel at the bottom of the taste pile. Ripe dark fruits, little ripe cherry in there. Alcohol spice doesn't seem diminished by age. Touches of brandy and sherry. A mild bitterness develops toward the end. Aged well and I think it will keep going for a few years yet. But that is no surprise given how well previous editions of this classic are drinking from decades and decades ago. And this has matured well from 2012 when my recollection is of a sweetish and tangy Impy, much more complex now.
