Barrel aged chocolate & vanilla imperial stout
A complex and dense beer, carrying layers of dark roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, and dry fruits that made our cellar masters smile. The beer from the very best barrels was blended, and infused with vanilla beans and chocolate nibs, 100% fair trade and from controlled organic cultivation: as always supplied from our local chocolate factory Zotter.
A magnificent beer with a deep, rounded chocolate presence, while the vanilla softens the edges and weaves sweetness and warmth through the natural intensity of the imperial stout. The bourbon ties everything together with notes of oak, caramel, and mellow whiskey.
Eira is a slow sipper, made for long evenings, where chocolate, vanilla and bourbon meet in perfect balance.

Bottle picked up from Beerlovers, Wien Friday 22nd May 2026 and consumed back at our apartment at the end of the evening, Zoku Aparthotel after a nice afternoon/evening that took in the aforementioned bottle shop and Ammutsøn and the fabulous Kängaru. Pours shark eye black with a slim fast disappearing head, it's difficult to know what colour it was probably beige or a darker brown. Fudge, bitter cocoa, vanilla and caramel on the nose along with some dried dark fruits. Smooth mouthfeel, the flavour following a similar trajectory to the aroma with chocolate coming more to the forefront, there's also a roasty bitterness. This is very good, sweetness is mostly absent, has a very authentic feel to it, v.nice. Score:7.8

Bottle at home shared by Joen. Opaque black color, small dark brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, a bit roasty, very bitter actually, metallic bitter. Vanilla? Hmm don't get it tbh. A bit weird aftertaste as well. Hmm too bad, I had higher hopes from Bevog.

Bottle at Goblet, courtesy of Vanja L, who enlisted me to find something excellent, to be shared with me and Jerko K (and Darko M later). Everyone agreed I nailed it hahah. Pitch black body, no head. Caramel and raisins, some vanilla, not that much chocolate in the lovely aroma. Lean, smooth taste, raisins, coconut from the barrel, chcoolate, smooth, slick, a lot of walnuts, vaguely tart, bitterish in the finish. Lovely stuff, Bevog is reliable as always when it comes to this strong dark stuff!
