Ungstrup (11031), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 15, 2007 Bottled. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt, as well as light notes of coffee, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of roasted malt, and coffee that grows stronger towards the end, on a good strong alcoholic background - You don’t taste it - it is just felt. Nice. omhper (10393), Stockholm, Sweden May 14, 2007 Draught at Københavnske Øldage. Very black, brownish head. Tarry nose. Medium sweet and full bodied with thick mouthfeel. Citric hops simmer in tar, to be enjoyed with a spoon. Lots of roasty flavours. Vast in character, possibly well sweet. There are much less good Imperial Stouts on the top-50... Papsoe (9980), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 19, 2007 Updated: Sep 9, 2007(Bottle 50 cl) Completely black and opaque beer with a tall, dense, inch thick, light brown head that leaves a pretty lacework. This really is one goodlooking beer. The aroma is full of fat, burned malts - even a bit vinous. Extremely full-bodied, this pours thick and tar-like. Extremely solid notes of roasted malt with burned touches, some fruit and a discreet, underlying sweetness. Ends fairly bitter. A grand Impy indeed. 010407 and 070907 joergen (6240), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 17, 2007 Draught.
