Commercial Description:
Nils Oscar Imperial Stout is brewed only in a limited edition. Also Nils Oscar Imperial Stout was awarded as the best beer in the world. This beer is brewed with many varieties of hops and malt, nothing saved to make the stout full of character. Imperial Stout is best enjoyed combined with the dessert but works wonderfully with oysters. The Nils Oscar Imperial Stout can be enjoyed today but preferably mature a couple of years.

Bottle shared with Jerc and Mabel December 08 snow storm in Waterloo - thanks for bringing this one J&K! Nice rich aroma, sweet chocolate. Black with tan white head. Great taste - rich chocolate, lots of malt, some roast. Very drinkable, alcohol disguised. Great.

Bottle. Pours a black body with a tan head. Sweet fruity body with a light alcohol note, sweet chocolate, caramel, Loads of coffee, and burnt malt. Interesting.

bottle shared at December Houston Tasting. Pours dark with almost no head other than some tan bubbles. Nose is of roast malt and some coffee. Taste is of roast coffee. Mouthfeel is medium and dry finish. Prefer a thicker mouthfeel though. Not bad

Bottle from MaltOMeal at the December Houston tasting. Thanks! Pours a thin, dark mahogony with an aroma of faint molasses plastic syrup and sweet cedar. Flavor is sparkling light chocolate with an earthy cinammon finish. Average mouthfeel. Not bad, but too light bodied for my taste.

Looks almost completely black in the glass with a yeasty light brown medium to large sized head. Nose is sour malt, some chocolate and roasted coffee. Really muted. Crazy mouthfeel, smooth and medium but tiny little bubbles caress the tongue like nothing I have ever felt. Taste is mild and roasted with some milk chocolate and more of the sour malt, kind of milky and creamy. I could chug a bucket of this.

Bottle thanks to Maltomeal at RB Houston Dec Impy Stout tasting. Black, no head, filtered and not quite opaque. Nose of burnt mallts and alcohol. Thin body is the first thing you notice, then the alcohol hits. After the initial alcohol flavors, the burnt malts, sweet tastes come out. Overall a good beer but not life changing.

Holy crap. Does it get any better than this? This beer is freakinnear perfect. Dark with a light tan small quickly dissipating head. Smells like roasted malts and chocolate. Tastes sweet and smooth as silk like chocolate roasted hops and malts. Finish was chocolate. I would say this is equal to or better than Sam Smiths Oatmeal Stout. Good old Scandinavians, they know how to brew beer. If you could bottle sex with Swedish Supermodels.... this is how it would taste.
