Raasted Imperial Stout

330 ml bottle. Black body with a brown head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, fruit and hops. Flavor is chocolate, bitter coffee, dry fruit, roasted malt and citrus hops. Strong and well made beer with a complex delicious flavor.

500ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki)
Practically black, tiny beige head. Initial sharp hoppy aroma, later some chocolate. Pleasant carbonation, quite full smooth sticky-sweet palate. Some sherbet on swallowing. Very well balanced combination of richly roasted, burnt, malt, and tangy bitter hops. So light and lively, yet so thick and weighty. Great imperial stout. Later I detected that the finish has some soap and perfume, so I knocked it down one in palate; however, the long finish is very pleasantly toasty and hoppy. Nearly on a par with Nekron, maybe?

Simply fantastic. Draught at plan b. Dark and thick with a strong taste of chocolate/coffee. Best beer so far.

Bottled (9% ABV). An opaque black beer with a medium sized and disappearing light brown head. The aroma is softly malty with roasted and chocolate notes. More than average hopping for the style, the American hops can be clearly smelled. Not so "stouty" aroma, but above all nice. The flavour has more accentuated roasted malt notes, almost burnt. Quite sweet, but well balanced. Usual notes of chocolate, coffee and licorice. Medium to full body, average/lively carbonation, dry and long finish with medium to high bitterness. Very enjoyable.

Cask at EBF Copenhagen 2008 ... Deep black ... thin brown head ... deep roast malts nose... charcoal and coffee... tooo bitter for me.
