330 ml bottle, unfiltered and unpasteurised, at Universitetsbaren, Aarhus. ABV was 7.6%. Served in a Hoegaarden Grand Cru glass. Black colour, big to moderate brown head. The aroma is first fairly fruity for an impy stout, notes of prunes. Also roasty with notes of coffee, dark chocolate and liquorice, hints of tar and smoke. The flavour is roasty with notes of coffee and liquorice. Tar and smoke in the finish. Distinct bitterness, but not extreme for an impy stout. Smoke, coffee and bitter hops in the long aftertaste.

Had it on bottle. It’s a tad more thin than many stouts but most notable it’s much more acidic - this wasn’t only a bad thing. A good alternative when wishing a stout in the fresh end of them.

Black body and dark brown head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, raisins and brown sugar. Creamy thick texture, power full. Medium/heavy sweet and light bitter. Nice !

Pours black with a thin head, vinous malty nose, body is well balanced, not heavy but quite full, nutty, notes of coffee, sweetish slightly smoky finish.

Bottle. Black body with a bubbly medium brown head. Roasty bit sweet malty aroma with notes of tobacco and liqorice. Flavour is sweet malty with some roasted malt, liqorice and a bit coffee. Medium bodied. Bit thin but quite ok Impy stout.

Flaske: Mørk, næsten sort øl, men dog til at se igennem. Flot skum. Duft af molasse. Brændt smag, sødlig. Dejlig mundfylde med små stikkende bobler der komplementere bitterhumlen.
