3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: APR 26, 2007 (Bottle 33 cl) Pours completely black and opaque with a good, retentive, light brown and lacing head. Aroma is full of hard roasted malt and coffee. The body is full with lots of sweetish, roasted malt, chocolate and dried fruit. The lightly burned malts also leave some bitterness. A very accessible and pleasant Impy. Extremely balanced, but never extreme.... 260407
Earlier rating:
(On tap) Completely black and opaque with a creamy, light brown head. Nose of roasted malt. Good, solid body with lots of sweetish, hard roasted malt. Unfortunately a vaguely fusty edge. Light bitter finish. I believe this could be a great beer in a cleaner version. 6/4/5/3/11=2.9 200506
