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. 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.

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.

It is a great stout with hints of leather, coffee and smoke. The beer is black, has white foam, full body with oily feel and a long finish.
