COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We toned down the hops a bit to allow cocoa nibs to contribute some pleasing bitterness, while vanilla notes from the oak combine with the cocoa to create an aroma and flavor akin to a gourmet chocolate bar. A dash of cayenne keeps things lively, adding just a bit of heat to the finish. A Yeti for summer? Hell yes.

Beer5000 (10643) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - FEB 10, 2022
UPDATED: FEB 10, 2022 Bottle @ Christianssand Brygghus. Black body under a lacing, moderate sized, dense beige head. Lovely aroma of dark malt, oak, vanilla, slightly peated and chocolate without overdoing it. Taste is sweet, still quite fresh with a nice balance between dark malt, dark chocolate, vanilla, oak, spices and warming alcohol. The chili and the alcohol by the way is pretty modest and well camouflaged, still I believe this contributes to some of freshness I feel when drinking this. Balanced body and long lasting smooth aftertaste. Nice one.

Habanero (6000) - Tranbjerg, DENMARK - JUL 14, 2019
UPDATED: JUL 14, 2019 Pours black with a small, creamy tan head. Aroma roasted malts, wood, vanilla, caramel and molasses. Ends up with a little chili flavor too. Sweet taste that ends up being slightly more dry. Full bodied, oily texture and soft carbonated. A great Impy. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Nische (4602) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - DEC 27, 2018
UPDATED: DEC 27, 2018 Bottle at home. Pours black with brown head. Loads of chocolate and roast upfront. Taste is slightly chewy and chalky with liquorice, chocolate, coffee and moss. Short, chocolate finish. Good enough.

Saeglopur (3930) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - AUG 12, 2018
Sampler shared by PowY, thanks!
Black body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, dark beige head.
Aroma of chocolate, cocoa, soy sauce, coffee, some citric hops.
Tastes similar, with even more hops.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a low carbonation.
Finishes surprisingly hoppy, a bit harsh, roasty, a bit dry, with cocoa powder, soy sauce, coffee, liquorice.

Very nice. Quite hoppy for the style, while also with lots of chocolatey and roasty notes. Becomes a bit unbalanced and harsh towards the finish though. Still an interesting sipper, but I prefer the regular version.

Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 3 / 15
