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%.

[bottle] Poured a not quite fully opaque black. Could see through it toward the edges. Decent sized dark brown head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is quite sweet, with some candi sugar. Flavor is caramel malt, with some wheat. Finishes dry.

Exceptional looking pour with a very thick, long lasting creamy brown head that never went a way and laced the glass all the way down. Pitch black. Full bodied and very flavorful without over-top-bitterness. Alcohol very well hidden. The wheat must make it slightly softer and smoother than typical RISs. Highly recommended!

Flaske. Kæmpe skum der hurtigt forsvinder igen. Ikke kulsort øl, snarere mørkebrun. Duften minder mest af alt om en mild singlemalt fra low lands, hvilket er yderst mærkelig til at begynde med.Hveden kan svagt anes, og smagen er brændt med et godt bid til sidst der igen minder om en mild low land single malt. I det hele taget en anderledes øl og igen en positiv en af slagsen.

Black as night. Not sure where the wheat aspect of this is found, because if its in there, the stout roast and body drowns it out. Pretty good, but nothing stood out to ever make me go out and buy this.

From Superbrugsen, Aarhus, DK. Bottled, 110708. Black with a lasting beige head. Aroma of liqourice, chocolate and malt. Thick palate of balanced sweetness on dry roasted malt. Tone of wheat and yeasty fruit.

50cl bottle: Pours black with a creamy brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee & wheat. Filling & smooth. Notes of chocolate, wheat, yeast & smoked malts. Very muddy & messy!
