375 ml botle at home, bought about a year ago.
Black body, with a beautiful, big, dense, coffee colored head, that isn’t very stable though.
Delicious aroma of coffee, wood, chocolate, vanilla, toffee, some ash, alcohol.
Tastes of coffee, wood, ash, dark chocolate, dark fruits, liquorice, some toffee, booze.
Full, creamy mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes alcohol warming, roasty-bitter, quite dry, but still smooth, with coffee, liquorice, smoky wood.

Delicious! Bone dry coffee notes combined with massive, roasty and sweet malts. The nose is almost perfect, while the taste is also great, but not entirely on par with the nose in my opinion. Overall a very enjoyable Coffee Stout, how I love it.

375 ml. bottle poured in to a Snifter. Pitch black with a dense, creamy tanned head. Roasted aroma with dark malts, chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, coffee and hops. Taste is bitter-roasted. Full body with an oily texture and a soft carbonation. Long lasting dry and roasted finish with coffee, brown sugar and chocolate. Excellent, big roasted Imp. Stout.

(On tap @ Mikkeller Bar Stockholm, Feb 25 2015) Pours black with a moderate, dense brown head, lots of lace. Aroma of molasses, bittersweet chocolate, dates, coffee grounds, oxidized a bit, roasty/sweet/almost tart. Palate has lots of dark malts/brown sugar/molasses sweetness, fresh ground coffee, raisins, dates, touch of vanilla. Goes from lightly bitter/tart to sweet. Finish leads back into bitterness with coffee grounds and roast at the forefront, a bit of roast cacao, hops in there a bit too. A touch of drying alcohol. Medium-full body with soft creamy carbonation. Interesting, kind of pungent and pretty intense with its mix of coffee, fruit, sugars and that interesting tartness. It is complex and enjoyable, but perhaps not as outright drinkable for me as my favourite imperial stouts.

Bottle at home. Black with medium sized beige head. Coffee, bitter unripe fruits, nuts, palm sugar, very boozy, cocoa powder, flowery, black currant. Medium sweet with bitter coffee/vegetal finish. Full bodied with quite some alcohol. Nice stuff, slightly too alcoholic for me. -------- update, seems way sweeter then before, but less boozy. I’ll still give it the same rating, but it’s an interesting difference.

schenkt zwart met schuimige plakkende bruine kraag. Aroma van werkelijk een ENORME bak koffie, suiker/zoet, vanille. Smaken zijn redelijk zoet, vanille, alcohol, zwak bitter (koffie), sterke smaken, zowel in het aroma als in de smaken is de koffie gewoonweg véél te overdreven, dit is dan voor mij ook geen bier meer... als ik zoiets wil proeven ga ik wel naar de Douwe Egberts koffie winkel.... voor mij denk ik wel de slechtste Imperial Stout die ik heb geproefd.... had ik al verteld dat je beter een bak koffie kunt nemen, is vast veel goedkoper dan deze shit.... SLECHTE stout, redelijk bakje koffie !!!! --- Beer merged from original tick of Goliat Imperial Coffee Stout on 18 May 2018 at 10:06 - Score: 6

Bottle. Lots of dark malt in aroma, coffee, burnt, ash. Clear very dark colour. Taste has balanced sweetness and bitterness, some caramel, but rather lots of dark notes. Also some fruitiness, dried, etc. Very good, but short of excellence.

Ciemno brunatna barwa z gesta bezowa piana. Aromat kawowy, palony, lekki alkohol po ogrzaniu. Piwo tresciwe, kawowe, slodkawe, pije sie przyjemnie ale czuc moc piwa.

Poured into a teku glass showing pitch black with half a finger of coffee foam that also lines the glass as I swirl. Abundant aromas of cacao and fresh roasted coffee beans with hints of caramel and toffee. Faint notes of molasses. Medium bodied, smooth, and evenly carbonated. The first impression shows cacao nibs or chocolate shavings. Then a mid palate of slight alcohol burn followed by a moderately strong coffee bitterness. The bitterness seems to be balanced out by the casconade sugar as it doesn’t overwhelm. More importantly, the sugar still keeps this big stout dry and clean - there is no excessive bitterness. As such, no note is out of place and plays a wonderful number on the palate.

Black color with a small beige head. Coffee, chocolate, vanilla, a bit boozy. Taste is more coffee, chocolate, vanilla as expected, with a very pleasant alcohol burn. Thick mouthfeel, but not overwhelming. Rich warming chocolate finish. Nice oatmeal feeling. Really good. Just like an Imperial Stout should be, this is a good reference.
