3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
750mL bottle, pours a fairly thin black with a small beige head. Aroma of pure coffee, no hint of figs or oats on the nose. Flavour brings out strong coffee upfront, very dark roasted and high quality flavour, with subtle notes of figs, and oats. Absolutely dominated by the strong coffee, subverting any presence of figs and oats. Actually a fairly thin body for an impie, but certainly no weakness on flavours. Excellent coffee bomb.

Smooth brew, my expectations where exceeded.
