Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head but it doesn't last. Smooth palate, mildly dry and fairly light for the style, good fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a nice light creamy milk chocolate vibe. The highly unusual barrelling provides spice and nice fruity herbal vibe that goes well with the spicy alcohol. Nice job, unusual but tasty and coherent, another inventive Impy from this Icelandic brewery.

Opaque black brown beer with a big tan head. The blackberry brandy punches through the dark malt nose. Airy palate, soft and with reasonable fine carbonation. Airy dark malts, a soft creamy sweetness and mellow chocolate, more milk than dark chocolate. A little Malteasers buried underneath. The blackberry brandy carries on from the nose, obvious and fruity and a little spicy. Finishes light and spicy. Delicious. I wish Surtur beers were more readily available over here. They have an inventive streak with Impies and the end results are rather spiffing!

Bottle. A black one with a small beige head. Roasted malts, licorice, coffee hints and some dark dried fruit in the wrong aroma. It's full bodied and lightly warming on the palate, smooth and very softly carbonated, with roasted malts, dark chocolate and a touch of alcohol and licorice. Some alcohol. Long finish. Nice and dangerously easy drinkable indeed, quite classic in many ways. 230225

Gentle and mild BW. Not like the American power plant stuff Fine afternoon BW Hazed golden in the glass and a fine head Mellow and fine carbonation level Very moderate sweet for a beer like this. And that will suit many Fine carbonation level. Tad rich maybe Malty, herbal, dried fruits in the flavor [Bottle from Vinmonopolet at Amfi Borg in Sarpsborg, Norway]
