A delicious impy. One of the best I’ve had this year! Aroma was thick and full of dark chocolate. Pour was a nice deep dark brown with a one finger tan head. Taste was awesome. Strong roasted malt, deep rich chocolate and a slightly hoppy finish that balances out all the sweet malty goodness. Some bitter coffee emerged as it warmed and mixed nicely with the chocolate flavor. Delicious!
