Oct 18, 2007 bottle bonus from Marsiblursi. Thank you kindly Maria and Andreas, this one seemed to scream out to me tonight so it moved in the direction of my belly. Nice to be a non scandanvian (and not kp) reviewing this beer. My bottle says 7% abv, and I’m honestly very intrigued by a high percentile low abv impy. Pours black with a generous 1 finger light brown puffy head. The nose is so roasty I’ll call it burnt malt, burnt malts with some burnt popcorn seeds. The taste is pretty front heavy lots of burnt malts, some light toffee and a bit of coffee and chocolate malts. Certainly a good impy but not as amazing as some would say. Its a little to thin for my liking, very drinkable but too heavy on the burnt flavors, in the words of Ralph Wiggum, "tastes like burning."

Oct 12, 2007 Black, small brown head. Very nice aroma, roasted malts, some blackcurrent, coffee and liquorice. Bitter flavour, obvious coffee notes, some hops even. Warming long lasting bitter finish. Bottle indicated 7% ABV, which is way less than i thought it was. Really nice brew.

Oct 12, 2007 Bottle. Opaque black and a thick frothy head to start with but faded a lot towards the end. Heavy roasted malts aroma with hints of coffee. Soft malty flavor with a surprisingly hoppy finish to be an imperial stout. Also some notes of chocolates and coffee in the taste. Not that heavy imperial stout but quite good.

Oct 10, 2007 33cl bottle from systembolaget. Black with some amber on the edges as it thins, and a very small tan head. Roasty malty alcohol aroma with some hay and bread. Thinner body for an imp stout, but the abv is pretty low for an imperial. Flavors are pretty simple with slightly sweet raosted malt, a little porty maybe, and then an actually quite bitter finish with some dark chocolate in the backround. Not very rich compared to other imperial stouts, but a good beer. probably not worth getting again though.
