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.

330 ml bottle, black cap. Pours jet black, light brown, rocky head. Aroma of roasted coffee beans, dark bittersweet chocolate, roasted oatmeal and barley, licorice, and maduro cigar. Very sweet malt flavor. Pleasant fruitiness. Lots of roast, grain, oat. All of these flavors are followed with a coffee roast bitterness. Some residual dark chocolate flavors, vanilla, and creamy caramel. Chewy texture. just like a piece of candy! Cheers...

Bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours opaque with a small, light brown head, mostly lasting with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (chocolate, caramel, nutty), light hops (grass), heavy yeast (leather) with notes of toffee, brown sugar, and dates. Medium bodied, slick texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness. Flavors of cocoa and milk.

Acquired via liquidsolutions. Pours a reasonably thick dark black that allows light through, one finger creamy tan head. Not as robust as I expected. The aroma is roasty, coffee, soy sauce, molasses. The flavor was roasty, soy sauce, coffee, a little sweet, nice waxy finish. The palate is nice and full and velvety on the tongue. Not my favorite impy, but still nice.
