Like a big hit of bonfire. Heavily roasted with globs of brown sugar toffee. Sticky, serious and full of the robustness of autumn

A reminder of snaffling bonfire toffee as a kid. The tangy, bitterness on the finish is the hero here. Moreish.

Massive dry stout with lots of roasty bitter chocolate but adjunct free (is that even allowed nowadays? Just a waffer think bit of lactose, a handful of tonka beans and marshmallows etc) Lovely stuff
Jim de Liscard: Giving it 4.5 this time for an average between 4.25 and that
Claire B: Now there's a funny thing. Or rather a delicious thing.

Technically speaking this is past its best, which is either quite wrong or just a reminder of how good its best was. The only bad thing is that we haven't got any more.
Purchased at The Craft Beer Cabin SE25
Jim de Liscard: Snap!
Andrew S: Surely impy stouts can never really be past their best? Sorry, nitpicking here.
Claire B: Andrew S. No, generally I think that's right. But they do often mellow out a bit and eventually lose some of the top notes, and luckily that hadn't gone too far here. Didn't want to risk it though!
Andrew S: Yes, absolutely. Mellowing out is generally good, IMHO.
