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. Low but lasting light brown head. Pitch black body. Could see aboslutely no light through the beer. Mild coffee aroma and not much else. Guess it was served too cold. Mild smooth and well rounded coffee flavor with a touch of liquorice. Low carbonation. Long coffee aftertaste.

Beatiful black look with the usually notes of tar, coffeechocs, licorice, smoke and a long finish that burns your tongue!

Pitch black with brown head. Aroma is wauw... Hops roast coffee & chocolate malts. Filling & smooth - far from thick body though. Bitter roasted flavor. Good lacings. Not very complex, rather simple but very nice indeed!

Bottle at GBBF 2007. Black, lasting tan head. Well it’s an impy sout. Powdery intense roasted malt aroma. Powdery/grainy and juicy. Good impy stout. Little thin, but decent finish. Lovely aroma, just a little over carbonated.

Bottle, GBBF 2007. Black, thin creamy tan head. Nose is malty, christmas cake and brandy tones. Fresh ground coffee. Mouth is fantastic roasted malt, chocolate, milk chocolate. Finishes dark chocolate, dry bitterness. Brilliant.
