3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil - thanks to JoeMcPhee for sharing with everyone - I didn’t like this beer at first, mostly because it is not what a contemporary American beer drinker expects from an imperial stout - however, once I got past that, it was quite nice - very dark amber, with a soapy lace - very roasty and doughy in the aroma, with some light vegetal character lingering back there - a little bit of spicy character - medium bodied - roasty and lightly vegetal in flavor, with a lot of fruity/berry-like notes, a kiss of smoke - an interesting mix of british and scandinavian brewing styles.

Bottle on my birthday. Shared with friends. Nose of caramel and wet leaves. thinner tan head on dark black shiny volume. Carbonation can barely be seen. Body is slick and on the thinner side for an Impy. Finish is oak, black patent tartness shrouded in just enough sugars as to make it slightly sour.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle bought at the De Molen beer shop in Bodegraven. This beer sprayed from the bottle and covered my kitchen sink. I did how ever manage to save some in a glass. Chocolaty and lightly sourish smell. High amount of carbonation. Chocolaty malty taste, some yeast and alcoholic aftertaste.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Split with Boston and Simon. Pour is dark, deep, brown with huge three finger creamy head. Lacing retention is always great with De Molen... multiple rings around the glass. Aromas is so floral and hoppy for a 9.99% alc stout. Mostly notes of espresso, chocolate, flowers. Taste is belgian quad flavors with honey mead, bread, anise, cocoa powder, and belgian yeast. Amazing beer that combined a complex belgian strong with a rich creamy stout. Finishes very smooth with barely any detectable booze for the amount of alcohol. Prefer this out of the bottle compared to the draft I had New Years day at Monks.
