What about the beer?
Colour is black with a small tan head. Aroma has sweet chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Taste begins with sharply bitter cocoa bite. Bittersweet cocoa and chocolate take over with espresso and roast flavours. Towards the end the taste stays bitter but gets sweeter chocolate tones. Aftertaste has dark chocolate and sweet bitterness.

Amazingly delicious Imperial Stout. Chocolate layers melt in the mouth, and the growing bitterness tickles the tongue. Coffee and roast have small but meaningful side roles here. The trusted brewery just seem to be incapable to fail.

This imp surely is no Wake Up Little Susie brew. It takes a heavier grip to reach the weight of this "Good Morning" coffee. Some bells, some violence, some guitar and drums.
