COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Slottskällans Imperial Stout (SIS) är ett opastöriserat, överjäst, mycket mörkt öl av gammaldags brittisk typ. Stilen föddes under 1700-talet när porter exporterades till Katarina den Storas hov i Ryssland. För att ölet skulle klara resan gjordes det extra kraftfullt och alkoholrikt. Idag lever öltypen ett tämligen undanskymt liv, men många brittiska bryggerier med självaktning ser det som en självklarhet att erbjuda en Imperial Stout som prestigeprodukt och flaggskepp.

stefannilssons (323) - SWEDEN - APR 22, 2012
Det här är en riktigt god men framförallt välbalanserad öl. Kroppen är bastant och smaken präglas främst av choklad, syra och maltighet. Slutsats: riktigt god svensk stout.

Bottle. Pours a light translucent black, with a small head. An ok aroma, with coffee and a sweetly chocolate malt dominating. Flavour is similarly sweet, with chocolate and candi sugar notes. This is fairly easy drinking considering the ABV, but, in my opinion, it’s far too sweet.

JanLaursen (1058) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - APR 22, 2012
Draught at Malmø Brygghus Festival for small independent Swedish breweries. Vintage 2011. Dark brown with a red hue and a small, but stable beige head. Good lace. Roasted aromas, some caramel, hints of licorice, floral hops. Well balanced in the mouth, sweet with a lingering bitter, dry finish. Medium to full body. For meditation.

teddybeer (745) - Madrid, SPAIN - APR 18, 2012
[Thanks to omhper]. 33cl bottle. Black colour with a nice initial formation of an off-white with a nice lacing head. Aroma is toasty, with some cocoa and vanilla hints. Flavour has dark coffee notes, with notes of chocolate, vanilla and cocoa, toasted and roasted malts are present. The final is moderate bittery with a medium duration. Oily on palate, the boy is medium to high. Carbonation is soft to medium.

BeerSkull (670) - SWEDEN - APR 10, 2012
UPDATED: APR 14, 2012 The aroma is slightly smoky and sour with hints of dark roasted malt, chocolate, fruit and some coffee. The taste is similar and it has a friendly soft tone with a dry bitterness. Especially the aroma of dark chocolate emerges in the flavor.

11.2oz bottle from tkrjukoff. Cheers, Timo! Pours a medium stout brown with a tan head. Nose is cocoa, earth, licorice, and a good deal of fudge. Flavor is similar- fudge with cocoa, licorice, and earth. Medium body with earthy cocoa and mild bitterness in finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
