50 cL bottle, batch 65 (attempt number 65 at their Imperial Stout? I guess so, they don’t always seem to know what they are doing with their imp. stouts). Pours black and with a dense light brown lasting head. No yeast at bottom. Roasted, coffee and dark chocolate aroma. Full bodied. Flavour is smooth chocolate with hardroasted note mixing inbetween. Has a soft berry fruity note to it as well. Lingering chocolate and dark coffee into the finish, quite smooth and not as much liqourice as previously, and far from the vanilla heavy version I remember.
50 cL bottle, test brew. Pours very dark brown with light brown head. Sweet fruity/yeasty aroma. Liqourice, mild liqourice and chocolate. Flavour is thick liqourice and chocolate. Finish is strong elements of the same. Thick brew, alcohol presence.6-4-8-4-15=3.7

Aug 14, 2008 Courtesy SoLan. Stark black pour, persistent dark tan head. Nice light powdered cocoa and coffee notes, dark roasted malts. Sharp roasty bitter taste, nice and aggressive without going overboard. The roast is backed by some alcohol heat, but it assists rather than overpowers. Very nice.
