Oj, vad det här är bra. Ölen är svartare än min själ med en komplex smak av syra, choklad, torkad frukt och vanilj. Dessutom var ölen välbalanserad och kändes underbar i gommen.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at Fermentoren, Copenhagen. Poured a dark mahogany with a thin bubbly tan head. The aroma is peat and malt. The flavour is big bitter, coffee, dark chocolate and alcohol liqourice. A very nice beer, but I’d prefer a lower ABV with less bitterness. More is not always best.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at bar. Dark black color, brown head. Bitter, salty taste with nuts, chocolate, plums, liquorice and coffee. Nicely balanced body, a bit of the ABV still kicking in. Very nice imperial stout.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, 375cl. A black one, topped by a small, dark tan head leaving some lacings. Coffee, roasted malts, some dark chocolate, and a little hoppy touch in the aroma. The flavor has loads of coffee, as well as roasted malts, dark chocolate and a faint touch of vegetables. Full body, soft carbonation. Lasting roasted finish. A nice beer, that’s for sure, but maybe a bit one-dimensional. 130516

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Black pour. Slim tan head. Little bit of lacing. Huge coffee and chocolate aroma. Creamy, smooth, coffee and chocolate taste. Some figs, malt, vanilla, and a bit of alcohol. Some heat from the alcohol, but mellowed out by the smooth finish. Just a touch of bitterness in the back from, maybe, coffee. Nice warmer.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours to a pitch black body with a long lasting creamy tan head. Awesome spotty lacing. Aroma is chocolate and heavy delicate coffee. Some brownie and caramel. Rich and decadent. The flavor is pretty identical in descriptors to the aroma. Very balanced and complex. The palate is rich and creamy. Thick but not sticky. Amazing!
