Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet spicy with notes of roasted malt, as well as lighter notes of vegetables and ginger. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of roasted malt, lending it a slight acidity and hints of bourbon. The alcohol burns in the throat.

(Bottle 65 cl) Pours a dark, opaque, orangey brown with a light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt. Medium body with lightly sweet, roasted malt, some fruit and some chocolate. Very subdued bitterness. Sort of an Impy Lite. 270607

(served at room temp) Black body topped by medium beige head. Aroma is coffee, light anise. Taste is moderately sweet, coffee, some chocolate, light anise. Creamy medium-full body. Nice stout, but seems a bit light for an IS.
