3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
33 cl bottle. BBE 09/2015.
Originally rated on 20091009.
Pours pitch black color with medium beige head. Aroma of mild liquorice, peat, some rye notes, hints of coffee and dark roasted malts. Flavor of light liquorice, roasted malts, light coffee and chocolate notes, tar and mild fruits. A bit too watery palate for an imperial stout, but works nicely as an foreign stout. Could use a stronger backbone, nicely balanced otherwise.

2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: NOV 13, 2011 330 ml bottle shipped in from Sweden by Per and many thanks to him as well. Had this on my 48th birthday. Pours a deep black with dark tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, cream and dark dried fruit. Taste is run trough a seris of flavors. Srarts off with a heavy coffe and then cream. Then moves to a roasted malt. It ends slightly bitter. A great beer for sure, but not really my style.

Bottle BBE June 2015. Pours a dark, slightly reddish cola borwn with a small, dark latte head. Aroma is slightly roasted, very malty, some liquorice, tones of coffee. Taste is malty, somewhat roasted, a bit rye breadish. Later turns more chocolatey, more coffeeish. Aftertaste is surprisingly fruity, dried and otherwise. Palate is pleasing, not much carbonation but fairly full.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A very complex and balanced Stout. I grabbed this beer off the discount shelf as it was about 8 months old. I found it to be very approachable at 7% with no trace of heat. You could tell the hops had fallen off a bit from fresh but the malts were shining thru nicely and made this a very enjoyable beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle bought @ Systembolaget and consumed on September 10. Pours black with a thin white head that quickly disappears. Smell is sweet with hints of vanilla and alcohol. Taste is rather sweet with hints of roasted malt, some hops and chocolate. Sadly taste is also a bit watery. Mouthfeel is rather fizzy. A pretty nice and humble stout that is far from living up to being imperial.
