4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber from Half Time. Pours quite black with a 3 finger foamy/creamy tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate with some hoppy/veg notes. Full body. Flavor is chocolate, dark fruit, residue of burnt malt/ashy, and some mouth grabbing bitterness, buffered by what seems to be a touch of treacle. I’m also thinking this has floral, but the flavor is so strong and complex it’s hard to be sure. Anyway, if it’s an Impy Stout you want, with no frills and silliness, this is a very good choice.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottled. Pitch black coloured. Brown dense head. Roast, light coffee, light sweetness, vanilla and light fruits in the nose. Flavour is roasted and coffeish. Is spiced sweet end fruity. Quite balanced and complex. A bit more on the sweet side if you compare to some of the normal hoppy american impy’s. Quite balanced and complex. Is light roasted and bitter in the end, with some nose alcoholsweetness. Me like.
