Botella. Pitch black. Sweet roasty malty chocolate, coffee, alco aroma. Soft pleasant mouthfeel. Roasty malt, chocolate, coffee, liquorice and woody flavour. Long lasting roasty maltiness with chocolate, coffee and wood in the finish. Really pleasant Imp. stout!

Bottle @ Ølfestival, Valby, 2009.
Pours utterly black with no real head. Aroma is truly wonderful; just like the regular Hel & Verdoemenis. Molasses, oil, tobacco, coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. Very low carbonation, fat and oily mouthfeel. Flavour has some fine oak, roasted, sweet chocolate, a touch of smoke, chewy malts. coffee, subdued black currants tartness. Very good, but will probably be even better after a year or two.

Tap at KBH festival, 2009. Black with a small creamy brown head and lacings. Lovely coffee profile going on here. Also chocolate, oak and a bit of alcohol. Again hard roasted coffee notes. Warmth, sticky and full bodied. Nice.

Draught. Low creamy but quickly disappearing light brown body. Coffee choccolate liquorice roasted malt aroma. Coffee choccolate liquorice oak malt aroma with a fair amount of hops bitterness low carbonation and a long sweet aftertaste.

Draught at Københavnske Øldage 2009. Pitch black coloured with a small beige head. Roasted aroma of caramel, chocolate, oak and coffee. Roasted flavour of chocolate, coffee and oak with notes of liquorice. Sweet and roasted finish,

Bottle, straight from the brewer’s warm room. Almost black and opague. Malt and milk chocolate in the still somewhat onedimensional and underdeveloped aroma. Malty flavor with milk chocolate, raisin, dried fruit and just hints of oak. The alcohol is totally unnoticed. Thick and solid on the tongue. Absolutely beaufiful beer, that still needs time to develop. I have a second bottle, and will lay that one down for several years.
