[ASPETTO] color caffe, marrone molto scuro ; schiuma marrone, fine, media presenza, non molto duratura [OLFATTO] intensa, con sentori di cioccolato, caffè e note di vaniglia, forse anice , profumi alcolici e liquorosi [GUSTO] inzia con note dolci, prettamente cioccolatose, alle quali si affianca un tocco di caffè non invasivo ed un crescente amaro torrefatto, che da sensazione di cacao amaro, truffa. C’è posto anche per qualche sfuggente nota acidula. L’alcolcità chiude, sostenendo le sensazioni amare di fine corsa e aggiungendo un carattere liquoroso che si estende in un retrogusto durevole [TEXTURE] corpo medio alto,spessa in bocca con un carattere oleoso. Carbonazione media [COMMENTO FINALE] imperial stout spagnola di tutto rispetto capace , a mio avviso, di tener botta contro i mostri sacri americani o nord europei. I caratteri distintivi ci sono tutti, ben gestiti ed armonici, alcohol sostenuto ma funzionale. Non avendo un luppolatura alla ricerca di protagonismo come avviene spesso nei prodoti d’oltre oceano, sfrutta al meglio i toni dolci, che apportano maggior pastosità e morbidezza.

Grifo. Vaso Tumbler. Saboreada en agt´12. Brota con color negro intenso y corona bronceada. La espuma cremosa presenta buena retención y deja una fina capa en la superficie. Aromas de maltas torrefactas, de caramelo con matices de regaliz, anís y notas de cacao. Entrada con sabores de malta torrefacta y regaliz que producen una cremosa sensación desplazada por un amargor contundente. Cuerpo medio-intenso y carbonatación moderada. El paladar es oleico y sedoso. Frutos oscuros en el intermedio. Final amargo y largo con trazos de caco amargo que permanecen en resinoso retrogusto. Buen equilibrio de sabores, ABV bien oculto, asimilable. Un trabajo bien hecho! On-tap. Tumbler glass. Enjoyed on agt´12. Pours pure black in color & tan headed. Creamy froth shows fairly good retention & leaves a thin layer on top. Roasted malt, candy aromas, hints of licorice & anise as well as cocoa notes. Roasted malt & licorice flavor upfront. Creamy sensation is blown up by strong bitterness. Medium to full body. Moderate carbonation. Mouthfeel is oily & silky. Dark fruits in the middle. Long bitter finish with bitter cocoa hues lingers into a resiny aftertaste. Well balanced flavors, ABV well hidden, drinkable. Good job!

330ml bottle@Cimmeria. Probably the best spanish Imp. Stout i´ve ever tried. Chocolate, coffee and sweet liquor aromas. Pours black, oily, with frothy tan head, creamy and persistent, some lacing. Body is medium to full, carbonation is soft, oily and creamy texture. Taste is well balanced, from roasted malt notes, mild bitternewss, to sweet caramel ones, among cacao and spicy ones. Very enjoyable. Botella de 330ml en Cimmeria, Oviedo. La mejor Imp. Stout española que he probado hasta la fecha. Aromas de chocolate no demasiado amargo, café y licor dulce. Color negro, fabulosa corona morena, cremosa y persistente, con buen encaje. Cuerpo de medio a completo, carbonatación baja y textura cremosa. Sabores muy bien equilibrados, desde notas amargas de la malta torrefacta a dulzor de caramelo, pasando por especies y chocolate. Muy recomendable.

Botella. Stout muy bien hecha, con buena presencia. Aromas torrefactos y cafetosos. Buen equilibrio entre los amargos, el dulce y el cafe. Bien integrada. Buena birra sin duda

23/11 0.33 l bottle from L’Espumossa, Barcelona. It poured black body with medium sized brown head. Caramel, cappuccino and licorice aroma. Bitter flavor at first, but it soon gets rounded to sweet creamy chocolate, coffee and caramel. Somewhat milky, or that was just an impression of its creamy full body, although lower ABV than usual for the style was obvious. Sweet, long cocoa and slightly herbal. Very nice beer, glad to see good ISs in the area.
