Bottle. Totally opaque liquid with a thick, dark brown and very creamy head. This is how an imperial stout is supposed to look. Aroma is a bit pungent and rather sweet with lots of oak, but most of all a lot of apples. Taste is incredibly rich with a lot of heavily roasted malt and apples, some sweetness, notes of oak, spices, vanilla and smoke. Low carbonation and a thick, rich mouthfeel. A completely wild and crazy beer. Really fantastic and an amazing experience.

Big thanks to Papsoe for that bottle. Looks great, the beer in the glass also, deep black, a bit oily, almost no head. Starts very, very sweet, strong, modest alcoholic. Notes of sweets, liquorice and marzipan. Also some chocolate. Finish is intense malty, a bit woody, still very sweet. Goes down burning, warming aftertaste. Very drinkable for it’s strength. Very good beer!

375 ml green Bottle thanks to Sune poured a nearly opaque dark brown bordering on black with a lingering ring of brown foam. Aromas of Calvados, oak, bitter chocolate, burnt carmel, roasted malt, licorice, light coffee and a hint of vanilla. Palate was medium to full bodied and smooth with a warming finish. Flavors of calvados, oak, bitter chocolate, roasted malt, licorice, burnt carmel, light coffee and a hint of vanilla with a smooth warming lingering fruity chocolatey finish. A very complex and tasty brew! The Danes sure know how to brew BIG Beers!
