Nils Oscar Imperial Stout

Poured dark brown/black, coffee, roasted malts, dark chocolate, nutty, slight dark fruit.

Very nice. Dark dark brown with tan head. Hefty aroma of cocoa and baking chocolate and some dark fruit and raspberries. Nice syrupy thickness to the palate, small bubbles, a tiny bit watery, nutty, neutral finish.

33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a Maudite snifter.

App.: Deep brown-black with a so-so might mocha head. Aroma: Lots of rich, oily molasses, soy sauce, quite fruity, slightly vinous, some black licorice, dark chocolate, light esters of cotton candy, a hint of alcohol and of hops. Palate: Medium+ body, moderate effervescence. Flav.: Fruity with some apples and other fruits, some molasses, a touch of brightness, some black coffee, some dark chocolate; fairly dry with some tartness and fairly good bitterness, leaves remnants of good dark chocolate.

Not huge but pretty good.

Pours very fine tight tan head. Dark black body, Aroma of fine chocolate crossed with molasses and coffee. Coca flavors in the taste. While there is some mouth feel, it’s pretty light, which doesn’t surprise me for something that’s only 7% alcohol. Nice beer over all.

Bottle. Black with a nice brown head. Aroma and flavour of coffee, roasted malt, spice, fruit, chocolate and caramel.

Draught @ Eskilstuna Ölkultur. Malty. Small smokeiness. Not bad, but nothing special.

12-JUN-2009. Bottle at Ulkløbben. Brown with an oily look, little beige/brown head. Sweet chocolate and coffee. Malty but not very hoppy. Creamy, smooth, good.

Deep black pour with brown head. Aroma is of cocoa, chocolate, sweetness. Taste is of chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, sweetness. Leaves a dry mouthfeel. Some bitterness at the end. Leaves lacing on the glass. Alcohol is hidden. The roasted malt flavor lingers in my mouth.
