August 2014: Shared 330 ml bottle at local tasting. Black colour, moderate tan head. The aroma is not impressive for an imperial stout, some unwanted "green apples" and "chemical" notes mask the expected roasty notes. Some liquorice in the background. The flavour is somewhat better than the aroma, lightly sweet with distinct roasty notes, some coffee and liquorice, but still not the best IS I’ve had.
