2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20Pretty much everything Kernel do I love. This was the exception. Way too much alcohol burn. I ended up pouring half of it down the sink.

Bottle at the ChrisO Holiday Tasting, London - thanks to Toby for bringing this around! Pours oily, black-brown with a creamy, brown foam head. Big and rich dark malt aroma, plenty of cocoa. Lovely, sweet flavor with moderate alcohol, rich dark chocolate, sturdy roast, light burnt wood, burnt toast. Full bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Warming finish with slick chocolate, some earthy bitterness, baking cocoa, dry roast and burnt wood. Big and ballsy but with great balance. Some dark fruit notes in there as well. Outstanding stuff.

Bottle at Chriso’s tasting 30/12/12. Thanks Toby from Kernel. really balck with caramel tones. Tan head and some legs. Huge Coffee, caramel aroma. Massive bold, but balanced flavours of coffee toast caramel . Hides the alcohol well with only a small amount of booziness.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Bottle) Black colour with dense, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of sweet espresso, dark chocolate, cacao, liquorice, burnt sugar, caramel and a vinous whiff of alcohol. Malty, roasted taste with strong black coffee, caramel, dark chocolate, cacao, molasses, liquorice, salmiak and a solid coffee/cacao bitterness in a long, vinous finish. Full body, almost oily mouthfeel. Quite sweet. Quite a mouth-filling experience, hardly subtle and balanced is probably not the correct word either. But what in impressive imperial stout. Lovely!
