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.

Sort øl (33 cl) købt i Sverige og Kvickly Smagen er mild kaffe/lakrids/bitter mørk chokolade. Eftersmag er let bitter. Duften er kaffe/chokolade. Skummet er flot brunt og holder ikke længe. Ikke meget kulsyre, men absolut en af de bedre øl.

A very tasty stout. Lot’s of malt and hops in the taste. Since I had it right out of a bottle I can’t really judge the aroma too well. Some tastes of chocolate as well. Will review this as soon as I have from a glas. I expect it to be soon.

Black body, brown shine, light brown creamy fast disappearing head, some laces; Very intense nose, not very deep, but quite complex: sweet soy sauce (not salty), bitter chocolate, milk chocolate, toffee; balanced body, with great carbonation and a soft texture; into long but a bit thin finish, quite bitter with licorice, bitter chocolate, some malt, some alcohol. the alcohol shines through in both nose, body and finish, but all in all very, very nice beer, that I wish I had some more bottles of.

2003 Vinatge: Poured a very dark brown color with a copper rim and small tan head. Tan oily film on the glass walls. Nice aroma of chocolate, smoke, and light soy. Sweet and roasty malt. Dark fruits and light alcohol. Roasted malt flavor. The flavor was light though. Maybe from the age. Roasty bitter finish. Body is a little thin for an IS.

Bottle. Pours in a glass this black beer with its light browninsh foam. Looks very good. And the taste! Haevy, roasty, medium sweetness and a long finnish. One of the better stouts.

Bottle into tulip glass, The Friday imperial stout tasting, summer 2005. Almost dope. Head disipates quickly. Transluscent ruby in the glass. Tan head. Smooth and medium bodied. Flavor starts woody with port, transitions to full chocolate and a good level of malt sweetness, and then a dry roasty and bitter finish with a hint of alcohol showing through. By the books, exactly what I like in an imperial stout. I wish it were a bit fuller in the body, though.

12 oz bottle, via MrWalker. Oily black body with a thin covering of light brown head. No sediment in bottle. Dense roasty nose with milk chocolate, coffee, anise, and some alcohol. Flavor is balanced between burnt malt and dark cocoa. Nice bitter and espresso finish, very well rounded flavor profile. Texture is oily but not thick at all. Very smooth with pleasant carbonation, despite not being bottle conditioned. A very good Imperial Stout. This would be great if kept alive and non-filtered, it loses some of the softness and fullness in the mouthfeel that could have been there potentially.
