BORIS the Crusher made with coffee from the Hippie Coffee Company in Canton, OH. Freshly roasted coffee flavor and aroma add satisfying levels of complexity to this robust stout, perfectly complimenting its intense, rich roasted character. Cold infusion with whole coffee beans keeps the bitterness low and the flavor high!

Not sure of the age, but it was from the sales bin, so defo not young. Saw 2016 on the bottom of the bottle, but I don't think it was that old. Pours a jet black body and a small brown head that doesn't stay long. Aroma's: big coffee roast, some coffee berries, light dark chocolate. Retronasal it's coffee sourish, coffee grind, roast, dark chocolate. Flavour is light mkderate sweet, light roasty bitter with hints of coffee sourness. Medium bodied. Long finish with roast, moderate bitter.

From tap at Basement Beer Bar, Aalborg. Aroma is rich dark roasted malt, shitloads of espresso, coffee beans, lots of chocolate, touch of liquorice, some vanilla. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate roasty bitter. Body is full and creamy. Fantastic Imperial Coffee Stout!

Bottle. Pitch black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is toasted, some coffeeish tones with mild toffee, some liquorice and syrupy tones. Flavour is coffee, some roasted malts, mild toffee and a bit wooden tones to it. Nice coffee aftertaste to it.

0.44l can many thanks to Lore.Black body with a lacing brown head. Toffee, coffee and bourbon dominates both the aroma and the taste with notes of cocoa and vanilla. Medium carbonation and creamy texture. I'm lovin' it.

Opaque colour, small beige head. Toasted, coffeish aroma. Medium-bodied. Sweetish toasted front, then coffee roast dominates the flavour. Roasted malts in the finish. Some hop bitterness. Very coffeish, solid.

Another delicious member of the ORIS family, this time offering up equal parts bitter chocolate, coffee, dark cherry, and roast, with undercurrents of anise, cola, caramel, and wood. Thick body and gentle warmth make for indulgent drinking, yet the pint never grows sweet or boozy. Delicious.
