2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20This imp stout poured a deep black colour with a small, soapy, tan coloured head. No lacing. To the nose there are scents of gravy, Boveril, molassass, burnt caramel and dough. First swig was very flavourful with flavours of coffee, Melloids, molassas and burnt toast. Finish is very burnt tasting with a small amount of bitterness.

Jet Black, well laced and tan head. Roast and toffee aroma with some caramel, chocolate. Sweet flavour profile with a boozy finish. Has a fruit cake mid palate which is nice and some espresso. Although it is a little bit thin for the style of beer it is good none the less.

Cask at Volo, I assume. I don’t know where else I would have had a cask beer, so it must be Volo. I was disappointed with this one. Flavours were okay; nothing off. But it was too thin.

I personaly dont like seeing Stalin on the bottle, I like the chocolate under tones and the strong taste of the beer

Bottle from brewery. Opaque black, no head, beige lacing. Aroma of molasses, slight spice, and very light bourbon notes. Taste has chocolate, molasses, coffee, slight spice, with a bitter finish. Mouthfeel is thick and sticky, very little carbonation. Overall a fine beer, but as far as Imperial Stouts go, not terrific.

Licorice and toffee, as well as coffee and chocolate. This particular beer is a bit on the unbalanced side, however.

Shaker glass at Red House. Aroma is mild chocolate, rounded sweet fruit. Taste surprisingly berry-fruity with chocoate and hints of toffee. Medium full body, leans a bit to the sweet and fruit with the roast on the back burner. Feel hops on the sticky palate and on the winey, fruity finish.
