One of the most complex beers we’ve ever attempted. A blend of two barrel-aged imperial saisons – one black, one red – which has in turn then been aged in rum barrels, it is an enormous, intricate beer.
A baseline of warm, smoky raisin and plum, followed by punchy flavour elements coming to the fore – coconut, mint and blackcurrant. There’s a long undercurrent of treacle toffee, before the finish darkens to liquorice, star anise amidst a touch of honey sweetness.
Malts: Cara, Carafa, Crystal, Extra Pale, Flaked Oats, Wheat
Hop: Mount Hood

Semmi hab, vöröses fekete szín. Illata hordós, vaníliás, vörösboros, aszaltgyümölcsös vonásokkal. Karamelles, aszalt gyümölcsös, fahordós, vaníliás ízvilág, komoly vörösboros vonással, némi fűszeres beütéssel. Testes, alig szénsavas, közepesen keserű, enyhén, de határozottan alkoholos. Nagyon finom, különlegesen markáns és kifinomult hordós aromákkal.

Bottle. It is hard to add anything to the commercial description of this beer - it nails the character pretty well. Tasty, interesting, rather sweet, sipper, but very enjoyable.

Bottle @ home. Quite a heavy one. Apple, appelstroop, alcohol, quadrupel, sweet. Still nice though, but I’d recommend sharing.

Bottle (thanks fatphil). Pours dark brown-black. Aroma is sweet, malt, fruits, alcohol. Flavor is sweet and sour, berries, coffee, malt, cocoa, booze. Finish is sweet and boozy. Overall: ok, but way too boozy.

Abstrakt 19 is a 13% Imperial Saison (red & black blend) that pours a deep ruby black and completely still. A peaty sharp malt aroma with heat that toasts my nose hairs. Full bodied with a raspy mouthfeel. The taste is molasses, woodsy oak, chocolate and tangy red berries. Good stuff. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
