Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks zvikar. Black with a tan head. Great aroma of dark chocolate, some coffee, roast. Sweetish flavoer, roasty, with dark chocolate, coffee, and a bitter finish. Full-bodied. Great stuff.

650ml bottle. Clear, chestnut colour with ruby red glimmer and average, thick, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Nuttily malty aroma, hints of hazelnut, walnut, cautious spici- and sweetness also from the nutty scale of flavours, a nougat touch. Taste is minimally sweet nuttily malty, dry hoppy overtones with a minimally grassy and leafy touch, unripe hazelnut. So-so.

22 oz. bottle, pours thick jet oily black with a medium brown head. Aroma is rich and complex, with dark chocolate, espresso notes and ample roasted malt. Flavour follows suit, with intense dark chocolate upfront, followed by a lovely roasted malt body, and ending on fine espresso. What a luxuriously velvety body this has. Pretty much everything I love about impies. Harmonious and amazingly drinkable. Phenomenal beer.

Bottle. Pours opaque rich black, medium creamy brown head, dissipates fairly quickly, nice lacing. Aroma is rich mocha, chocolate and cold press coffee, hint of ashtray. Flavor follows, medium sweet and light plus bitter, loads of mocha chocolate with a hint of smokiness. Fullish body, creamy mouthfeel. Solid coffee stout for sure.
