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 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.

Locorice and dark chocolate aroma. Large creamy light brown head. Excellent lacing. Mostly lasting longevity. Clear amber body. Heavy sweet flavor with a tast of dark chocolate, and a long finish duration. Medium to full palate Good creamy texture.

Tons of roast in the nose. Incredible roast in the taste. Coffee. Darkness. All the flavors an Imperial Stout requires. Very nice. Could use a bit more body.

<b>3/18/2008</b>: Nils Oscar Imperial Stout pours a clear, ruby/chocolate brown color with a thin, bubbly head. The aroma of coffee and chocolate is good, but not overly rich or deep. Black coffee, milk chocolate (lactose-like), and artificial sweetness are present in the flavor. There fruity notes in the middle and it finishes sweet and roasty with hints of char. No alcohol can be tasted. This beer is medium-bodied but seems really thin. It definitely needs some more heft to the body to match all of the dark, roasty flavors of the style!

I must have gotten a bad bottle, based on other reviews of this beer. It was flat, lifeless, tasted like wood ash & burnt celery. Total drain pour. Maybe I’ll rate it again, then again, maybe not.

Dark color. Smell of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, caramel, hops, malt, dark fruit and minor spice. Taste of the same but very rich. Very solid. Very nice impy stout.

Bottle. Aroma dark bitter chocolate. Very dark brown colour - almost black with soft brown head. Dry bitter flavour of dark chocolate and roasted malt. Very dry aftertaste.
