Nov 18, 2009 Pours brown with plenty of light and a two finger creamy tan head. Not what I expect appearance wise. Nose is interesting, nutty, sweet, some grain, chocolate, mild smoke, caramel. Flavor is sweet, fruity, mild alcohol, tad nutty, hoppy, mildly astringent, chocolate. Tastes and smells similar to a brown, very yeasty and estery. Palate is a little warm with some astringency. Different for an Impy.

Nov 8, 2009 330ml bottle from Cracked Kettle. Brewed 16 Apr 2009. Bottle #433/912. Pours deep blacvk with no head at all. Palate is dead flat, no carbonation at all. Nose is very rich sweet liquorice and alcohol. Some hops also. A bit woody and roasty. Palate is creamy and oily. Taste is sweet, cocoa and bit roasty on the finish. Very sweet. A bit bitter on the finish. Not very pleasant to drink without carbonation. Feels a bit too rich and thick. Same thing happened to my Hel & Verdoemenis. Really disappointing.

Oct 30, 2009 Deep black pour with a thick, sticky persistent tan head. The nose is very unusual with a mix of black licorice, plums and a bit of flinty/bretty spiciness. A little bit of mustiness with a touch of musky wildness. It’s surprisingly dry on the palate with the dark plums and dried fruit showing up here more like they do in red wines than they typically do in beer. A nice lingering brett flavour on the back that works quite well with the dark licorice and jammy fruit. A little bit of cocoa/coffee roastiness as well. Man, this stuff rocks!
