3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Oct 2012 Bottle is about 6 times more expensive than your average beer. Smells very interesting. Taste - Really sweet, coffee liqueur. Very strong and full bodied, so a sipping beer. Not really what I’d call a beer, but it’s interesting to try and pleasant enough.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown, almost black with a thin tan head. Aroma is treacle, varnish, oats, dark chocolate, caramel, syrup, dark fruits, heavy roasted malts and alcohol. Medium to full bodied, the taste is heavy sweet but not overpowering.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is intense. Maybe a little too sweet for what I was feeling. Huge taste of cranberries and sweet plums. Just about a carbonated port. Alcohol not as noticeable for being 18.2.

Tap @ brewdog Camden, creamy mocha head, pitch black, aroma of aged balsamic vinegar, sour cherries and rspberries with some dark bread, nuts and winey notes in the back, intense dried fruits flavour with sweet cherries ginger cake, oaky winey notes and some cognac,extremely sweet but balanced and not overpowering, amazingly silky, does not feel like 18.2%. Rivals the great desert wines of the world. WOW!!!

Rich in every aspect, this is close to perfection! [short review due to it coming from my backlog]
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Wow. Viscous brown/black, small head. Smell like oak barrel, roasty bits, coffee, chocolate and danger. Tastes more oak, honey, sweet malts, coffee. The cranberry and alcohol both give a sweet port character to the taste too.. Really, really enjoyed this @ Clancy’s city beach
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Vika enjoyed at home
Pours dark brown with a thin laced head. Smells of coffee, roasted malts, alot of oak and booze. An interesting cognac assosiation even when i know it’s only oak chips in it. Taste is heavy sweet, super malty, coffee and roast. Super silky smooth mouthfeel, low carbonation, super full body. Heavy bitter finish, a nice break from the sweet body. This beer is really nice. For me though it’s too boozy and heavy on the alcohol. The alcohol is warming and stings in my nose. An extreme beer for sure
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Ótima imperial stout escocesa com corpo denso, aroma citrico, com notas de carvalho. Breja com potencial alcoólico elevadíssimo. Licorosa, baixa carbonatação. Excelente breja!
