Canned (from Alko). Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, alcohol, some vanilla and mild toasted notes along with some ripe fruits. Flavour is very similar, in a beautiful balance. Good punch, even though not stronger than 8.5 %. Very good job done!

Can at a tasting with MisoW and Cuso. Fully malty, rather soft dark malts (chocolatey, caramelly), light touch of deep roast. Taste balance is between moderate sweetness and bitterness - former up front, latter in finish. Good, tasty, full bodied.

Can, courtesy of EuroSanta jappp if I remember correctly. Pours darkest brown with a soft beige head. Aroma is toffee, caramel, chocolate, richness. Body is heavy indeed, sweet and powerful without turning really boozy, still containing a good bitterness. Like a medium dark/bitter chocolate, actually. With little booze and some punch though. Unsurprisingly, this beer has a sweet palate. Nothing out of the ordinary, but very much towards balance and straightforwardly delivering the imperial stout.

33 cl can from a trade with Hermod, thanks! Sampled on July 18, 2017.Marked (BB?) 021017.Swedish translation shows "Havregrynsgröt" as an ingredient, got us a few laughs, but with google translate who’d know who wasn’t Swedish?Black color, light brown head with some lacing. Sweet, lactic, roasted, grainy, alcohol, some dark berries scent. Malty, roasted, grainy, alcohol taste. Roasted, alcohol aftertaste. Full smooth creamy body, low CO2 feeling mouthfeel. Medium to medium high grainy bitterness. Leaves a grainy milky kind of character in my mouth.7/4/7/4/15=3.7
