A banging Imperial Stout brewed with prunes, vanilla, and habanero chillies.

Taste: Dark chocolate and dried prunes come out first, followed by a strong Turkish coffee and stewed blackcurrant jam. Vanilla supports, followed by a long, lingering — BÄNG — from the chilli. Just enough to shock your tastebuds and leave you wanting more.

Draught at KØ17. Black colour. Small light brown head. Very sweet flavour. Roasted with fruit and nuts and many different spices. Late coffee aftertaste. Sort of good, but much too sweet.

Süßer, intensiv karamelliger Antrunk. Mehr Schokolade als Vanille, die verwendete Chilischoten bringen eine nur minimale Schärfe im Hintergrund, die kaum auffällt. Weiter stark karamellig, erdig, unsüffig. Cremig, likörartig, langer Nachhall. Mir etwas zu süß. 9/13/8/12/12/11

Pretty much pitch black with a brownish to beige, small, but lasting head. Roasty and fruity aroma with dark chocolate, prunes, vanilla, wood and hints of chili. Complex, sweet and surprisingly flavourful with a mild bitterness and even milder chili burn. Full bodied and smooth as velvet. Desserty and warming. Tasty and dangerously drinkable!

Thank you! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ Beerlovers Bar. Black, little tanned head. Nose is soy sauce, umami, very thick gravy, low mocha, overly umami, very thick some soy sauce,... Taste is weird, extremely sweet, dates must have all gone towards sweetness, cloying sweet with brown honey, sugar, exotic sugar, caramel, overly big on honey cereal, extremely massively sweet, some umami,... Weird, umami notes, cloying sweet tastes, basic weird, expected more, heat in the back is very minor but habanero is a very mild chili,... Body is very thick umami, brown sugar, mocha, syrup,... Not as coherent as it should have been, vanilla is lost,... Nice but not wonderful as hoped.

Bottle (at koht). Pours black. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, malt. Flavor is sweet and bitter, chili, chocolate, malt, lactose, sugar. Finish is chocolate and chili. Overall: way too sweet, but okishtap st pudel. Still too sweet, and mushrooms in aroma this time. I get more chilli kick than from bottle, which i really like. Like tap more than bottle, +1 to overall. I really want to like this one, but it has just way too much sugar syrup in flavor...
