Hatebrew Imperialistisika IPA
Draught (backlog). Hazy reddish amber colour with no head. And no carbonation either it proved out. Aroma is red berries, yeast, some grains and mild rubbery and alcohol notes. Flavour is sweet malts, glue, some alcohol, berries, mild grassy and floral notes too.

10.5.2014. Keg. Almost black with very dense thick brown foam. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Palate is quite full bodied and balanced, chocolate, slight roast, coffee, bitterness and a hint of mebtioned blueberries. Definitely top Finnish imperial stouts. Could be a bit more body.

Hatebrew Imperialistisika IPA
tap@Nordic, keg aged for 1,5 years
Hazy amber coloured beer with blonde to beige persistent dense head. Aroma and flavor have strawberry jam, cherries, fruit candy, syrupy sweetness, light tartness and grapefruity bitterness. Palate is quite full with heavy carbonation and feel of bitterness. Finish is dry and tart with bitterness. Aftertaste has cherries, red grapefruit, resin and plastic. Obviously this is a contaminated IPA which has generated carbonation during aging and not lost its bitterness. At first it tasted like half Oud Bruin half IPA but towards the end of the glass it was just really stale sour bitter, like drinking lingonberry juice.

Draught. Deep brown, close to black colour with a small brown head. Aroma is roasted notes along with some berries and mild sourness as well as some funkiness. Flavour is mild berries, some roasted notes as well as mild sourness and some yeast as well. A bit of a mess, more than enjoyable.

Draught @ Kaisla, Helsinki. Practically black with a tan head. Malty aroma with roasted notes of coffee and chocolate; also a hint of berry-like sourness, probably because of the bilberries used. The flavour is malty sweet, somewhat bitter and has a similar sourness to that in the aroma, although not much flavour to what I would connect with bilberries is present, except maybe in the finish. Good, but could in my opinion be developed into something much better.

Bottle at SOPP. Dark brown color, good creamy beige head. Aroma is berryish, I think it is those blueberries. Medium-bodied. Not traditional imperial stout. Blueberries are evident. Some burned toasted flavors. One step better than Hatebrew’s first.

Draught @ Naamat, Tampere. Pours a black colour with a thick creamy beigr head. Aroma of roasted malts, pie crusts and grass. Flavour is very smooth with roastiness, subtle bilberry notes, cream and bitterness. Bilberry gets a bit noticeable towards the end. Rich and smooth mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden and drinkability is surprisingly good. Good.

Tap @ Naamat.
Pours dark red, almost black color with a medium sized beige head, leaves some nice lacing on sides. Very malty and a bit grainy on the nose, some hops with subtle chocolate and salmiac notes, bilberry notes are quite faint but maybe that’s a good thing. Lots of hops on the flavor also, licorice and rye notes with a fairly roasty and malty backbone. I was about to mention Plevnan Siperia here but then come the slightly disturbing vegetable notes to ruin the show. This is not as refined either. With a little polishing this would be very tasty. A good bid anyway. Color me positively surprised.

Flavor has roasted malts, dark chocolate and some sour blueberries. Palate is fuller than medium with quite heavy carbonation. Finishes with quite heavy bitterness and some alcohol. Quite dry for an IS, the berries add a nice crisp touch.

Quite brutal beer. I can’t believe that it only has less than 90 IBU. Would have guessed something like 150. Yes, it was very bitter, but also a bit musty. Good debut beer, I am waiting for the next one from Hatebrew guys.

Dark amber body, no head. Aroma has berries, some sourness and bit oxidized flavours. Flavour adds sorbus and caramel. Off flavoured barley wine. Poor. Re-rate in oljenkorsi. Bottle. Hazy dirty copper body. Aroma has dark yeasty hops, bit raspberry, grainy caramelly malt. Flavour has really harsh hoppiness, some citric acid and alcohol. This one is really malty and on the dark side. Too harsh for me.

Red colour. Berries, sweetness, mild sourness, alcohol and berry bushes in the aroma. Quite bad. But the flavour is really bad. Berries, alcohol and sugar. Absolutely flat. No good.

(Keg at OlutExpo 2013) The beer poured mahogany coloured and clear. Its head was non-existent. Aroma had glue, earth, sewer and hops. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were hops, glue, sewer, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was bad and bitter. An unclean and unpleasant brew.

Taste is smooth and malty with notes of stingy vegetables, berries, hops and caramel. Long lasting bitter finish with some grassy hoppiness and stingy solvent notes. Quite strange and unpleasant.

Tap@wka. Dark amber red. Strong piney, toasted carmel flavours. Doesn’t have the gone-bad’ness of the previous I had, but still a lot of homebrewy dirt. Up from 2.4 though. Like the freshness and unfakeness of it.

Tap@oe13. Amber red copper, clear. Apparently they’ve had problems with the carbonation, so virtually flat. Initially a glueish, slight aceto- vibe on nose. Full body, nice piny mango flavours. Too bad about the carbonation, it might had bounced some of those spoilt-beer aromas. The body was good though.

Flat, no head at all. Aroma is odd with gluey notes, vegetables, berries and hints of caramel. Totally flat palate. Unpleasant and harshly bitter flavour with vegetables, rubbery nores, some caramel and hints of toffee. Terrible, I just can’t get over the harsh bitterness. It haunts me on every sip.
