Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is slightly oxidized combined with notes of over ripe fruits and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, malt, and bread, but also with a slight touch of oxidation combined with a light hop bite.

(Bottle 47 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours black and opaque with a handsome, creamy, light brown head. Intens and somewhat vinous aroma with hard roasted malts. Quite full-bodied, notes of hard roasted but also sweet malts and a hint of prunes. Again very delicate vinous notes, some sweet licorice and a lightly burned edge with some malt astringency. Not a huge Imperial Stout, but quite nice and pleasant. 041007

Dark brown and relatively flat-looking. Nutty, slightly chocolatey nose. Fudgey, nutty taste is slightly syrupy. Really thin. Please just call it some other kind of stout and it will be viewed more favourably.

Bottle. A black beer with a big brown head. The aroma is of roasted malt, chocolate, light coffee, rye bread and alcohol, so is the taste. Medium body with a dry finish.

Black body with small creamy brown head. Aroma is medium sweet, roasty coffee, cocoa, some vinous. Taste is medium sweet, roasty coffee, vinous, light cocoa, finishing very bitter coffee with a slight alcohol burn. Full body, though still a bit thin of what I expect from an Imperial Stout. Improves as it warms.
