    My beer rating No. 8000. 330 ml bottle conditioned, barrel aged, from Aberdeen Country Fair (bought there ultimo August 2017, but the BB date of the bottle was 07. Oct. 2016). ABV is 10.5%. Pitch black colour, but no proper head. Fine aroma of roast malts, liquorice, molasses and dark dried fruits, some vinous notes. Minimal carbonation. The flavour is moderately sweet, with notes of roast malts, coffee, liquorice, dark bitter chocolate, some alcohol and bittering hops. Would profit from a somewhat higher level of carbonation.

    Almost pitch black, as not much highlights are seen. Mocha-coloured bubbly, silky-creamy head with light lacing. Roasted barley aromas with a warming alcohol, a touch of coffee, molasses. Even hints of maple syrup, also found in the taste. Flavours a roasted malts, well-balanced alcohol with mild grassy hops. A smooth mouthfeel at first with a building dry finish. This would be a nice winter warmer Impy stout.
