4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/2012oz bottle from Super Deli Mart. Pours pitch black with thick mocha head. Aroma is unexpected: big funky tart smell with notes of fig, raisin, licorice. Taste is heavy charred roasty malts, followed by sweet yeasty flavors, then nice hoppy bitterness. Nice thick mouthfeel although the body doesn’t seem that viscous. Definitely not a traditional imperial stout, but I like this take on the style.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12-oz. bottle. Nice aroma of dark roasted malt, rhubarb, a bit of a charcoal, and some burnt molasses. Pours a deep black with a two-finger, smooth tan head that retains its shape for quite a while. Very dry roasted taste with biscuit and a definite ash note. A plum favor emerges near the end. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel and extremely dry finish. Good stout, but the over-the-top roasty start hurts it.

Bottle, at Bakgården Både &. It pours a small, dense, light tan head over a pitch black body. The aroma is roasted and sweetish, with coffee and a lightly piney, grassy touch. The flavor is on the sweet side, roasted and coffeeish, with some bitterness trying to bring balance. Full body, some warmth, and quite dry-ish. Lasting finish with the roasted malts and sweetness dominating. Nice. 130520

Nice and roasty aroma with dark chocolate, coffee, sweet caramel, and vanilla. On the palate, there is a roasty, bitter astringency that is nicely balanced out by sweetness on the end. Little to no alchol presence. A very solid stout.
