2014 bottle from Coaltrain. Shared online with Joe. Pours black, with a small, bubbly, tan head. The nose is toffee, vanilla, cherry, cacao nibs, walnuts, and a fair bit of soy. Sweet and sticky, with a little bitterness. Heavy and yeasty, with a sticky, chewy palate. This is a fun and malty beer, but a bit past its prime.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour, almost black, with frothy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of roasted grain, dark bread, coffee, dark chocolate, prunes, liquorice, toffee, anise and a touch of tamarind. Malty, roasted, fruity taste with prunes, raisins, coffee, chocolate, liquorice, roasted grain, orange peel, molasses and a mild roasty bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, quite sweet. Mellow and harmonious, complex and tasty. Very nice.

Cellared Bottle purchased at Systembolaget. Pours pitch black with a beige head that disappears quickly and leaves lacing. Strong liquorice aroma with dark chocolate, roasted malt and molasses. Similar strong, bitter, roasted flavor with loads of liquorice, dark chocolate and a lingering bitter coffee finish. This one has aged surprisingly beautiful.

O- A bit of an alcohol burn for only 8% and not too complex but a solid seemingly traditional impy stout. Good beer.

Aroma has cocoa, soy sauce, some licorice and mild hoppiness. Flavour has somewhat strong hops, cocoa and molasses. Quite sweet but nice still.

4 oz pour on draft (2014) at ChurchKey during the 22 years of Avery event. Black with light tan head. Aromas of roasted coffee, chocolate, light booze. Tastes of coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, caramel. Full body with a dry and slightly warm finish. Somewhat oily syrupy mouthfeel. Good but not really my favorite type of imperial stout.

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av karamell, torkad frukt, bourbon, marzipan, brunt socker och choklad. Stor sötma, torr, fin maltsötma, rund och len, välbalanserad. Mycket gott!

Flaska från SB. En söt IS med drag av bourbon, romrussin, chokladfudge, muscovado och en lite torrare avslutning med bränt socker och viss kärvthet från den välrostade malten. Rejäl kropp trots att den inte blev lika stark i år. Riktigt gott.
