Bottle from Brew Export. Smoky, nutty aromas underpinned with a spot of dark chocolate, bourbon, raisin, cocoa. Taste is chocolate nut, bourbon, coffee, cocoa, light smoke, treacle toffee. Rich boozy mouthfeel. Sweet throat warming finish. Yum 😋!

Panda thanks to Wingman. Oily looking near opaque dark brown beer, a small tan head, doesn't last. Smooth palate, a little viscous but overall, pretty light for the hefty abv. Reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts and dark malt cream, rich and mildly sweet from the light and well judged vanilla, whispers of milk chocolate at the borders of the two. Super smooth but rich ripe bourbon soaked fruits, the back end of which brings forth the smooth coconut. Mild touches of maple and nuts but, adding more layers to this already complex Impy. Smooth finish. Wow! Transient intensity as expected but, delivered in a very smooth way here.

Гипер сильное по вкусу и пьяное по градусам. Классический имперец в моём понимание, много бочки, кофе и шоколада. Дерево прям как будто нацедили в бутылку. Есть жареные нотки.

Bottle shared at "Johnny's got a new place" beer celebration. Opaque pitch black color, small light brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, chili, cinnamon, spicy, spices, chocolate, sweet. Sticky, heavy, thick. Not for me, too spicy / sharp / chili.
