COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
"Double" (imperial) wheat stout.
This imperial really strikes back. From a strange country far, far away, comes the only Imperial Wheat Stout in the known universe. Once again, the ’Hand’ brewery - four guys brewing in their spare time, on an absurdly small scale - boldly goes where no brewery has gone before.
US version is 9%.

0,5 from cardinal. Pours black with small beige head, Nose is coffee and chocolate. Almost an cappichino muthfeel from it. Taste is roasted malts, chocolate and coffee. A nice bitterness all the way

Vignale (1371) - Malmö, SWEDEN - MAR 18, 2013
Flaska från SB från 2009, drucken på norgeprovning. Inte alls fyllig och rund utan snarare vass och stickig munkänsla, kaffe, choklad, soja och aningen rök. Osäker på om den var okej. Drickbar men en ganska konstig upplevelse.

olio (4082) - Tampere, FINLAND - FEB 20, 2013
50 cl bottle.
Originally rated on 20090912.
Pours murky brown color with a medium off-white head. Aroma of dark toasted malts, wheat, ripe fruits, caramel and some chocolate notes. Flavor of roasted malts, caramel, some dry chocolate, mild wheat and yeast. A bit weird mix but it works. Excellent.

BeerBeCue (62) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 15, 2013
1PT .9FL oz bottle aged for about a year, poured into snifter. Pours a deep, opaque, used motor-oil-like black (WONDERFUL) with a minimal deep-brown head. Aroma is a complex blend of milk chocolate, vanilla, liquorice and roasted/burnt malts. Taste is medium-high sweet and just a tiny, so tiny bit acidic. Mouthfeel is velvety-smooth, body is rather medium-full. Carbonation is pretty low, but this is what I was expecting. Finish is rather long and roasty, which I find to be really enjoyable. Some malt can still even be perceived! Overall: aroma here is some serious WOW-factor. H*ll the brew altogether is a wow-factor! I am simply blown away. This is my first Haandbryggeriet and certainly not the last. May the dark force be with you (pun seriously intended).

SlackerMads (528) - DENMARK - FEB 12, 2013
Bottle batch 466. Opaque black with a thick dark brown head that quickly diminishes. Aroma is roasted burnt malt, marzipan, licorice, dark chocolate. Taste is medium+ sweet, medium bitter, light salty and slight acidic. Medium body, oily texture, medium carbonation. Finish is medium roasted bitter and light acidic with notes of roasted malt and licorice.

Prominent roasted malt, rich mouthfeel, toasty and slightly dry finish with balanced bitterness.
