Bouteille 33cl, bottled 28/8/2012. Brune foncée, col fin café au lait, doré sur le verre. Arôme malté grillé et caramel, note de douceur barrique tirant sur le vanillé, fruité presque mangue avec une douceur rappelant l’Amaretto. Palais présente un profil malt profond sur une pointe de tourbe et fumé, léger chocolaté avec une certaine douceur résiduelle. Note de noisette, alcool réchauffant, boisé avec un coté vanille et boisé de chêne. Amertume des houblons reste en retrait pour un fini gardant une certaine douceur sucrée et légère pointe de fumé.

Bottle at Monk’s Wallingatan. Black colour with no head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, coffee with some fruit and a bit of smoke. Flavour is rather sweet, bitter, alcohol, chocolate, coffee, some vanilla and whisky.

Bottle courtesy of Colin. Dark brown pour with a tan head. Whiskey aromas. Roasted malts, chocolate, whiskey, and woody notes. Good mouthfeel and body. A very nice imperial stout...

Red waxed bottle(11,9% ABV). An almost opaque black beer, with a minimal, fully diminishing brown head. The aroma is moderately to heavily malty (roasted grain, coffee, dark chocolate, caramel), with notes of vanilla, whiskey/bourbon, alcohol, raisin, fig, brown sugar, some peat and smoke. The flavor is heavilty sweet, lightly acidic, very lightly bitter. Full body, syrupy texture, soft/flat carbonation, very long finish with light bitterness, heavily alcoholic. It’s very good on the presentation (which I know it’s not a little), but then it turns out to be flat, sticky, boozy, and overwhelmingly sweet. Lots of complexity in a very enjoyable aroma, though. So, the score results to be something in the middle.

Listed at 11.9% on the bottle. Poured a deep reddish brown with no head. Aroma is of vinous notes and muted sweet roast malt. Medium body, flavour of sweet red wine with a malty undertone and a lingering, sweet alcoholic end. A bit closer to a barley wine than an impy.

Okay...yet another good IRS from the Molen but this one is too much whiskey for me...brutal and rough

33cl bottle. Bottled aug.2012. 11.9% says label. Poured black with no head. Aroma has licorice, roasted malt, port wine notes, wood and alcohol. Flavor is similar, lots of wood, peat, ash coming through as it gets warmer. Incredibly light body at first with vanilla smoothness, but as you swallow the alcohol presence is quite noticeable. Heavy stuff, tough.

Bottle from bierzwerg.de. 11.9 ABV. Almost black colored beer with small beige head. Dark malt, whiskey, dark chocolate, peat, ash, wood. Roasted taste, with dark chocolate, sweet molasses, whiskey, peat, wood, booze. Boozy finish. Whiskey like finish. Lovely.
