Sep 2, 2006 A pitch black beer with a fast disappearing head. The aroma is sweet alcoholic combined with notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with quite strong caramel notes, as well as light alcohol notes, leading to a dry slightly woody end. The mouthfeel is very rounded and delicious.

Oct 19, 2002 Bottled. Very black with brown head. Hoppy licorice aroma. Very dry and nicely malty and a little chocolatey. I really appreciate the fact that they’ve made a stout this big so dry.

Sep 3, 2006 (Bottle 34,1 cl) Comes as "Wellington Imperial Russian Stout". Pours a clear, reddish mahogany with a creamy, beige head. Alcoholic nose with notes of raisins. Rather full body with lots of hard roasted malts, some accents of dried fruit and then a wee, burned edge. Some alcohol in the finish and a bitter, dry note from the malt. 290806

Sep 30, 2001 A tasty pint of black. Not as fruity or burnt as some Imperials, IDIS comes across as a suped-up version of an Irish stout. It is hard to brew a stout this big without a lot of esters, so it is somewhat unique in that respect. Lots of rich, mocha-like malt flavours, adequate bitterness, and a long, dry, roasty finish.
