Imperial Stout
Limited Edition
Inspired by a traditional beer style that was a favourite of the Russian royal court. Fuller's Imperial Stout has a rich, dark appearance with distinct chocolate and cherry notes. For a modern twist on the 18th century classic, rose petals have been added to the brew. The hint of Turkish deligt this delivers perfectly complements the floral character of the Centennial hops

From meny, toftegårds plads. 180th anniversary 2025 box, limited edition.
pours clear brown, settles very dark brown, with a light brown average head.
aroma is roasted malts, chocolate and licorice notes from the malts, coffee grind notes from the malts, alc. well hidden in aroma. very very faint sort of flowery note - could be the rose petals or could be hops.
flavor is roasted malty with a high complexity and a serious level of roastiness that is still rounded and flavorful, quite a bit better than I had expected because of the rather thin look to the beer. the roasted notes extend far into the aftertaste and ends the beer very well indeed. i get tobacco, coffee, chocolate, wood, licorice notes, probably all from the malts. Old fashioned Imperial Stout, but really really well done flavor wise. They nailed the bitter ending perfectly. alc. well hidden.
