250. Thanks, Thewolf and after4ever! Pours opaque black with a thick, tight lacy brown head. Sweet aroma of coffee, brown sugar, vanilla and licorice. All the same flavors from the aroma swirling around in the taste. Woody finish. Sadness as I discover the empty bottom of my glass.

250ml 2006 bottle so generously shared by after4ever. Pours a thick, dark as night black with a dense deep tan head; looks just fantastic in the glass. Nose is just what you would want in a perfect Impy Stout; roasty malt, vanilla, chocolate, plum, oak and bourbon...wow! I could pretty much smell this all night. The taste is just as amazing with all the flavors coming together with such balance and grace. This is the best beer I have ever had and it fully lives up to the hype. Thanks Tom for sharing such a treat!

I’ve tasted a vintage 2007, thank you rickgordon!. Do not drink it too cold! If you do that the beer would not to open... The beer has a dark sirupy-oily body with a small lacing but creamy and delicious brown head. Absolutly rich, liqueric aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and plum-dried fruits, tons of roasted malt, candy sugar. The flavor is something unbelievable. Hard attack of an oily textured, rich bodied beer with roasted grains, coffe and cocoa, dark chocolate, vanilla and candy sugar, character of the oak barrels. Long finish and roasted aftertaste. Thanks again, rick!

Ive tried this beer twice now and it has been amazing both times. Extremely smooth yet complex taste. It kinda hugs your mouth and wants to stay there forever. The best beer I have every tried and I hope I get to taste it again.

2006 version shared by the European Beer Pipeline after4ever. Thanks man! So that being said, this has probably the best nose of anything I have ever smelt. A complex mix of dark malts, coffee, chocolate, fruit, vanilla, just all rounded out and mixed in together. Black beer with a milkshake looking brown head. Flavors of chocolate, dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon barrel notes, ashy burnt malts, wood, piney earthy hops. Creamy velvety body, some warmth, low carbonation. Pretty much the best thing I have ever drank.

2007 Bottle at Glenfiddich Warehouse, Stockholm. Served way to cold. Black with a smal brown head. Surprisingly high carbonation. Bitter chocolate, soy, tobaco and vanilla. Complex and great!

Bottle. Black color, small white head. Complex beer! Smells cigar, port, raisins and honey. The taste is sweet at first, hints of vanilla. Lots of bitter dark chocolate, soy. The taste of a fine cigar rounds it off. Thick oily beer. Smooth. Very good!

Bought this at Bier Koning in 2007 and very much enjoyed it. Pitch black colour with rocky tan head. Nose of malt, chocolate, raisins, caramel and red berries. Really nice blend of aromas. First taste of chocolate and vanilla, then more and more flavours as you drink through. Very smooth and oliy texture. Superb.
