Taste is sweet, dark, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, licorices and balanced bitterness with some warming alcohol. Fine body, nice aftertaste. Nice one.

UPDATED: AUG 7, 2022 On Tap at Cellar Bar, Chester 17/11/2015 Big coffee roast aroma. Beige head. Black rich on the palate and strong in alcohol with some initial sweetness. A hint of bitterness in a dry coffee and chocolate roast finish.

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2022 En cave depuis 2019. Liquide noir avec mousse abondante et compacte. Nez prunes, café, fumé et herbacé. En bouche, c'est une attaque réglisse, malt torréfié devançant une belle amertume houblonnée et légèrement anisée, complexe et appréciable !!!

UPDATED: JUL 10, 2022 12 ounce bottle A very potent imperial stout has held up well since being purchased quite a few years ago. It's nice to see these sorts of things being freed from the cellar though I imagine it could have held on for a handful more years with no issue. AROMA / APPEARANCE The thick oily nose blends black coffee with tropical aspects. Sweet dark fruit includes strong plum notes. The oily base and mocha head swallow the darkness with a light reddish fringe provided for contrast. FLAVOR / PALATE The sticky mouthfeel crawls over the palate with a blend of plum, raspberry, and coffee. Chocolate notes pair with tropical aspects for a while before the big boozy finale. A strong chocolate bitterness bites at the throat with a warm afterglow. While it might have lost a little potency this is still better than many fresh imperial stouts.

UPDATED: APR 11, 2020 Bottle from Liquid Hops. Black, brown foam. Chocolate foam and tart fermented berries, coffee, light funk. Medium full dry body, coffee and cocoa powder, light minerals, berry, some smoke, a bit cognac. Rich, but well balanced dry. Quite pleasant.

UPDATED: MAR 22, 2020 Can. Coal, ashy roast, no tartness, dark chocolate, thick body, herbal hops, light spicy finish. Bold, full, balanced. Superb.

330ml bottle in 2015. Black with thin, tan head. Aroma of Coffee, smoked malt and dates. Liquorice in the flavour with, molasses and roast malt. Burnt finish, with espresso, vanilla and aniseed.

Can. Hazy deep brown. Tan head. Well-lacing. Aroma: roast, capuccino, dried fruit. A hint of yeast. Full body. Taste: vinous, quite dry, malty, roasted. Solid bitterness. Well-tasting but not among the best Evil Twin impies.

355ml bottle from Spirits of Mt. Seymor LRS. Pours an almost black with a dark beige head. Aroma is sweet, some molasses, leather notes. Similar taste with roasted malt notes, some light burnt sugar, sweet berries, and hoppy bitterness. Roasted malt hoppy aftertaste. Very nice, a good representative of the style.
