4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20 Maria (8582) - Thisted, DENMARK - JUN 2, 2008
Tap. It’s pitch black with a creamy head. The aroma is full-bodied and nice with notes of roasted malt, chocolate and dark fruits. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, dark fruit, chocolate, coffee, sweetness and a roasted bitterness, that lasts throughout the long, long finish. It’s a truly nice stout, that I look forward to tasting again.

Superb and unique.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUL 12, 2008
(Bottled) Almost black with a smallish, beige head. Very original aroma, a bit like "tilliliha" (could ir be diacetyl?) - also sourish and salty. Smooth, roasty, licoricey, tarry, very salty and pleasant flavor. Alcohol well hidden. Full-bodied, very silky-smooth palate. An interesting, silky, truly great Imperial Stout. Might be even too salty in larger doses, though.

[Sampled at DØE-festival with Helga, Søren and Anne, Århus 2008.] A very great beer with black look and brown head. Notes of great roasted malts, smoke, wood, coffee, some chocs. Dryness and vanilla also. Good finish and a big wish for more.
