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 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

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. Black colour. Small, dark brown head. Roasted coffee aroma. Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Coffee flavour. Semi-sweet, a little chocolate. 7 4 8 4 17

2003 bottle, 4 years old, 7.0%. Creamy aroma with a little liquorice. Black colour, small light brown head. The flavour is good, quite distinct liquorice, ending with a little salty sweetness. There is also a little paper, but nothing unpleasant. The aftertaste is very late and has some fresh-ground coffee and a little barley bitterness as well as a little more paper. Good mouthfeel and pleasant carbonation. I think it has peaked for me at 4 years. 7 4 8 4 16
