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.

The color was dark brown/black. The head was thin, creamy, and off-white. The aroma was coffee, roasty, and sweet. The flavor was coffee, light hops, roast, and sweet malt. The palate was smooth. The finish was roasty.

Pours black with a medium tan head. Smell is mildly roasty and lightly chocolately and caramel and ash. Taste is smooth roastiness and a bit creamy, but still thin bodied for the style. Nice and lightly hoppy to go along with the dark roasty flavor. Pretty good, and not the letdown I feared after having the Nils Oscar Barley Wine.

11.2 oz bottle. Thin, burnt astringent black malt and plastic/chemical nose, all of the chocolate malt and roast is buried beneath this terrible astringency and chemical cleaner character. Flavor is a bit flat, a bit thin - moderate roast, some more cleaner/fluid flavors, light chocolate. Ultimately the body is just too weak and the roast is too weak. Against the grain big time for me.

The aroma has bread and a malty sweetnes. It’s dark with head. The flavor is malty with hops and an aftertaste of coffee.

Bottle from Plaza liquors - Pours a deep brown color with a one finger thick tan head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, and dark esters. Flavor is much of the same. Medium body. A good beer.

Black with a creamy head. Liquorice, coffee and smoke in the aroma with a nice roasty bitterness in the flavour like sweetened mokka. I must admit though, I am not blown away...

Pours a deep black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of dark fruit and coffee. Flavors are a combination of dark chocolate and roasted coffee with a dark fruit backgound. Nice lingering finish on the palate.
