Draught at Bishop Arms, Avenyn, Gtb.
Black with a brown head, fine lacings. Aroma heavy malty (roasted, coffee, dark chocolate), medium hoppy. Flavor heavy sweet, medium bitter. Like velvet, almost full body, despite the low alcohol vol.

Jul 20, 2008 Draught@Bishop’s Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg. Creamy light brown head shrinking to a thin layer of foam. Dark brown body with good clarity. Pleasant aroma of sweet roasted dark malts, tropical fruits, pine and flowers. Taste is rounded light sweet malts, coffee and cocoa notes, and a gentle bitterness. Light-bodied for the style. Lasting malty-bitter ending. Elegant, well-made and easy drinkable.

Dark chocolate brown color, small tan head. Dark malty, licoricey aroma with hints of dark chocolate. Tasty salt licorice and alcohol flavor. Long roasted aftertaste. Another outstanding beer from Nynäshamns.

Jul 19, 2008 Draught. Has a black colour with a pale head. The aroma is roasted coffee beans, milk chocolate and some malty fudge. The flavour is roasted with notes of coffee and chocolate. A bit watery with (too) little bitterness IMHO. I would not call this imperial stout.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle, 6.5%. Weak creamy, fruity liquorice aroma. Almost black colour, small light brown head. Very nice and quite flavourful, roasted, creamy coffee with liquorice aftertaste. Hint of yeast.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle @ the RBESG08 Grand Tasting.
Pours deep brown with red edges. A small, beige, film head on top. Aroma is lightly roasted, chocolate and a slight fruity tartness. Light and a little thin mouthfeel - especially when you’re expecting an Imperial stout. But the flavour is nice, lots of dark chocolate and a pleasant hops note. Very good as a regular stout, only good as an Imperial.
