Nils Oscar Imperial Stout

A black beer with a beutiful light brown head. The aroma is slightly fruity, smoked, and sweet. The flavor is very sweet, smoked, and fruity. It has a fantastic palate. A really good beer.

When you get the unfiltered version it is beyond doubt a world classic. But as that is usually impossible the bottled version is a good substitute. Black. Chewy, full bodied. Complex with salty licquorice aroma. Nice bitterness. While the first vintage was mindblowing subesequent vintages has failed to meet my very high expectations. The score has thus been lowered from (9/5/10/4/19 = 4.7)

(Bottle 33 cl) Black and opaque with a lightly creamy, beige head. Nose of roasted malt and coffee. Medium body with lightly burned coffee notes - rather distinct coffee actually. Lightly bitter finish from the malts. 020606

Almost black; firm alcohol in the nose with currants, raisins, milk chocolate; smooth palate with a milky, raisiny character and a dry finish. Well balanced, like a poor swedish man's version of Old Rasputin.

Black color, llight iquorice coffee aroma and taste, full body, bitter sweet finish.
