Palate was full bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were liquorice, roasted malts, chocolate, sweetness, hops and bitterness. Aftertaste had liquorice, sweetness, ash and bitterness. Alcohol was well hidden and flavours were nicely balanced. Great!

Bottle at The Wedding. I think this was my favourite beer of the night. It’s my sort of beer. Smooth milk chocolate - a good malt beer. Beer is about the magic of yeast fermenting malt - and this beer captures that rather than concealing it with hops or carbonation or filtering, or some other bastardisation. This is fermented malt laid open and exposed to the senses. The hops here are used to complement and accentuate the malt: a mild citric note. Lovely drinking beer.

Sourish aroma with some roasted malt. Flavour is sourish too, with hints of alcohol, roasted and sweet malt. Some harsh bitterness too. Oily palate. This has something in common with other BH imperial stouts.
