COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
""""Inspired by the great stouts favoured by Russian Imperial Court, Murray’s “Wild Thing” Imperial Stout is a beer fit for a Czar. A massive, intense drinking experience. The colour is black. Totally black. The heart of darkness. Impossible to see through even when held up to the light – nothing insipid about this beer. Aromas of strong dark chocolate, a little fruitiness from the hops and yeast and some rumminess from the alcohol. The flavour is an intense hit of mocha – bitter dark chocolate bordering on coffee. Some malt sweetness but an aggressive hop bitterness and roast grain bite to balance. And then there’s the mouthfeel… Full bodied is an understatement. Massive mouthfillling malt that almost overwhelms, before the freight train of the bitterness from the hops and the roast acidity kicks in to clean up the palate. A tiny batch of a huge beer – only 1100 bottles brewed. A beer to savour if you dare!""""

4.1
UPDATED: FEB 15, 2020 This years version is more coffee flavoured than last years chocolate. A strong flavour that almost takes this from a stout into DIPA/IIPA territory with the bitterness of coffee not hops. Tonight this is a 'new job celebratory' beer and a mid week night cap so it's all good

Tasting at Matt's
Black colour. Strong roasted malt character, hint of rubber, liquorice, coffee; it's rather dry than sweet.

3.3
UPDATED: JAN 18, 2019 330ml bottle @ Matt's. Pours an opaque dark brown colour with a small beige head. Nose is toasted malt with a hint of black pepper. Flavour is toasted malt with a mild soy sauce and a touch of pepper. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, and a mild sweetness with a moderate bitterness.
3.8
UPDATED: JAN 18, 2019 330ml bottle at Matt's.
Appearence: very dark brown with a beige head
Aroma: roasted malt, inky
Taste: similar with high roastiness
Overall: pretty nice, but it is too roasty for me
3.2
UPDATED: JAN 18, 2019 330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out cracked black pepper, light spiciness, and medium toasted malt. Flavour reveals medium toasted malt, with a little spiciness and black pepper. I'm not too convinced by this -- the spicy, peppery character is a bit off-putting. Pleasant overall.
3.9
UPDATED: JAN 18, 2019 Big roast and intense chocolate note. Jet deep brown with a small beige head. Big roast and chocolate with some coffee. Big body and well done.
