180 ml bottle. #131/2483. Bottled 2010. From Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Dark Coke like black colour with almost no head.
Vinous aroma with red wine and roasted malt. Wine is soon taking over the Imperial Stout in aroma. Flavour is more Imperial Stout. Roasted malt and liquorice. Alcohol presence is inevitable. This kicks ass.
