UPDATED: AUG 11, 2020 Bottle. Black with a creamy tan head. Aroma: Liqourice, chocolate, toast and caramel. Taste: Sweet with moderate hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Not amazing but solid!

UPDATED: SEP 3, 2019 355ml bottle. Jet black colour with late awakening, average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, tan head. Roasty, chocolately, dark malty and fruity aroma, notes of dark chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, some cherry, a touch of molasses, cocoa, minimally smoky overtones. Taste is sweet-ish, roasty and chocolately dark malty, fruity hoppy, notes of dark chocolate, hints of blueberry, blackberry, a touch of cherry, minimally smoky overtones, a minimally metallic touch as well, some aniseed; vestiges of alcohol in the finish. Not the most complex Impy Stout, but focussed, pursuing a clear idea.

UPDATED: MAR 4, 2019 Easy drinking for an IPS given the ABV closer to 9%. With so many out there though, this one doesn't really stand out. Maybe a too much roastiness or burnt coffee in the malt, followed by some extra bitter in the hops....so basically found the balance to be off. I guess that I prefer my stouts on the sweeter side, unless the balance is right. Appearance is great....jet black with creamy texture and dark mocha head. Glad that I finally got to try...it is a good beer....just will be going other directions in the future. Willing to pay a little extra for better quality.

UPDATED: OCT 12, 2018 From backlog. 0,3 litre Bottle from Systembolaget Charlottenberg. Black with lightbrown head. Roasted malts, hops, Caramel, Chocolate and coffee.

Pours black with a low tan head. Aromas of chocolate, lactose, vanilla, roasted malt, roasted nuts. Taste is chocolatey and roasted with vanilla and lactose notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Tried for the first time back in 2009. Dark and rich. As far an imperial stouts go, its solid, but not spectacular. Lots of chocolate and dark fruit, some raisins, a little vanilla. Pleasant.

4 finger beige head, black body. Nose: Dark chocolate, rasins, tar, dates, licorice, and coffee. Taste: Dark chocolate, dates, licorice, tar, raisins, soy-sauce, hint of bitter coffee, cocoa-nibs and Kahlua. Semi-long, semi-bitter ending.

Bottle @ Wordenskjolds. Appearance: clear black with good beige creamy head and lacing. aroma/taste: caramel, bread, coffee, chocolate, light dark fruits, light alcohol and licorice. palette: strong roasted malty aroma, medium carbonation, full body, average to notable sweetness, balanced by an average bitterness, long duration and an oily texture. Overall - very nice and smooth imp stout.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2016 Kolsvart med rödbeige tunt skum. Doftar lite syrlig bränd karamell och kaffe. Smaken mycket fyllig, syrlig, lite pepprig, bitter och alkoholanstruken med kaffe och karamellsöta som dominerar. Eftersmaken lång med lite sur kaffe- och maltsmak. På gränsen till övermogen.

Bottle. Creamy lightbrown excellent fully lasting head. Black colour. Heavy malty and moderate hoppy aroma. Licorice and chocolate. Heavy bitter very roasted flavor. Some coffee notes. Long heavy bitter finish. Creamy palate. nice.
