3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Fat. Svart öl med ett ljusbrunt skum. En av de "bärigaste" Imperial Stouts som jag doftat på. Mycket blåbär och björnbär. Även en del choklad i doften. Chokladen tar lite mer överhand i smaken tillsammans med ganska lätta rostade toner delar av bärigheten finns även i smaken men tar betydligt mindre plats. Annorlunda och inte så tung, men god.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Fat. Svart öl, cappuccinofärgat skum. Björnbär, blåbär, björnbär, blåbär... och så choklad och lakrits. Där är dofterna. Björnbären och blåbären är så dominerande att det kunde gått på tok, men det är friskt och fräscht och spännande. Samma återkommer i smaken, men här är chokladen mer framträdande. Även kaffe och vanilj fyller på lite i bakgrunden.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle.
Pours black with a small light brown head.
Aroma is very weak even though the beer is not cold. Faint roasted malt and coffee.
Taste has roasted malt, coffee, chocolate milk, slight dark fruit, hop bitterness.
Thin and soft mouth feel, low carbonation.
After taste is quite weak though bitter.
This Imperial Stout lacks a bit of everything. Not impressed at all.
