3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Not very impressed. Watery, strong on alcohol and sweet.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Barcelona Beer Festival 2013. Small Pint (20cl). Pours dark brown with some strange redness and medium beige head. Hops, spiciness and vanilla on the nose. Flavour is incredibly sweet and peppery, with hints of red grape and coffee (the later at the end when finishing the beer). Some alcohol presence as well, burning sensation in the mouth. Medium/creamy body, carbonation is just average. Well, that’s one of the strangest brews I’ve ever tried, does not look like an Imperial Stout at all. Original, but it’s not a great beer.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Brown bodied, dark and with a big frothy tan head. Woody, red fruit, funky and generally interesting yet nothing like I expected. In fact, probably not what it was meant be. Taste conforms this notion. Sour base, berries, foaming mouth feel and some barrel aging. Not sure if I should rate this as imperial stout, as it?s a flemish brown instead now. As every beer I?ve had from this brewer... This particular example is too sharp. Hides the all alcohol well though. No, it can?t get away with it. (33cl bottle from Bière Révolution)

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
smoky, roasted malts, peppery herbal notes, dry, clean, tiny bit of oxidation. not the best, but always interesting.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bouteille 33 cl de WAZ. Sombre brune à belle mousse moka évanescente. Effluves de café-moka, réglisse, alcool, fruits secs et vanille. Le goût est torréfié, acidulé mais onctueux, le corps est moyen. Bière parfumée et goûteuse, note fumée, vanille, pointe pimentée. Tout ça avec une belle amertume et des notes vineuses, compotées et puissantes dans une longue finale.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A - Dark brown-black with a thin finger of frothy off-white head. Fades quickly.
S - Chocolate and dark caramel malts, cherries and other dark fruits, coffee, vanilla, black pepper, tea, black licorice, and some booze.
T - Chocolate and dark caramel malts, cherries and other dark fruits, coffee, vanilla, tea, a bit of sourness, black licorice, molasses, and some booze.
M - Medium-minus bodied, mild carbonation. Smooth with a sweet, warming finish.
D - Interesting Imperial Stout. Flavors well balanced, but body and carbonation off.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Svart i färgen med litet beige skum. Doftar rostad malt, soja, tobak, sött med vanilj, kola. Kryddigt. Smakar söt rostad malt, tobak, kryddigt, peppar, alkohol och lite örtig bitterhet på slutet, Känns obalanserat, inget för mig.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Black no head. Slight stout aroma. Has a touch of pepper and vanilla in there. Much thinner than your typical imperial. Tastes nothing like a typical american style imperial but also doesnt have that stale malt of the european imperials. Some sweetness and dryness on the back end. Decent stuff. Fairly unique.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
31.12.12. Bottle. Black beer. Aroma is dominated by what I connect with oak. Flavor is a bit sour. The oak-aged characteristics are not my cup of tea. Certainly a different imperial stout and not what I expected. Glad I tried it.
