2014 version 750ml - grey paper wrap
Clear notes of raspberry and chocolate aromas upfront with a vineous mineral touch. Rather slender, well attenuated with incredible depth of chocolate-raspberry flavours, medium-full bodied. Delicate fruit acidity and reminding you of raspberry praliné with a lasting dry finish a bit like Mon Cherry but more like a delicate Mon Raspberry. Aged well!

Bottled. Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is toasted malts, roast and some strong alcohol sweetness. Flavour is sweet alcohol, roast, some liquorice, mild hops as well as some dried fruits. Not that far from Mikkeller Black. A bit too boozy for it's own good.

Tap @ Fairbar, Aarhus. Pours black with medium frothy brown head. Looks so good! Aromas of coffee, liqorice, raspberry, some burned notes and slight sweet dark fruits. Taste is pretty sweet up front, some salmiak, pepper, raspberry, some burned coffee. Sweet and bitter dark finish.

949519 Botella 75 cl de cervezalandia tomada en Oviedo 31..12..2017. Color negro intenso brillante con bastante espuma oscura. Aromas y sabores maltosos intensos y grandes dosis de arándanos que aportan una acidez y sabores afrutados del bosque enormes y perfectamente integrados con el resto. Al calentar salen ligeros cacaos, vainillas y alguna maderas empapadas pero en general todo ello bastante camuflado por los intensos sabores maltosos algo tostados y los acidos frescos de los frutos del bosque, además de una sensación alcohólica tremendamente notable, ya desde el principio y que se va acentuando, como el resto de sabores, a medida que calienta, que lo inunda todo. Cuerpo intenso con ....vol que se presentan ya en el primer trago y te acompañan martilleando el cerebro el resto del vaso... Pastoso fino denso y con un amargo seco algo resinoso y herbaceo al final que dura un buen rato en boca. En fin que se puede explicar mucho....pero se resume todo en: pedazo cervezon, experimento, mezcla de estilos etc...en fin... Para repetir sin duda. Maravillosa de principio a fin, caliente y fria.

02.05.2014, tap @ CBC:
Small light brown creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is kind of strange sweet, dark sugar, sweaty cheese, dark malts, alcohol, caramel, shed, red berries, grass, coffee. Taste is slightly sour-ish strange sweet, sugar, red berries, grass, coffee, dark malts, shed, oak, burnt caramel, ashtray sweaty cheese. Medium to longlasting bitterness, very dry mouthfeel. Fair enough.

Aus der Flasche 2016-03 getrunken. Ok wer das 黑 Black von Mikkeller kennt dem müßte klar sein das man sich gerade eine doppelläufige Schrotflinte in den Mund schiebt. BUMM! macht dieses Imperial Rhasberry Stout dann nur noch und tausend typisch bittere Himbeerkerne prallen vom Gaumen auf die Zunge. Was für eine Kombination von leicht saurer Frucht und Röstnoten. Die allgemeine Süße hat zwar die bitteren Röstnoten voll unter Kontrolle, aber nur um von der Bitterkeit der Himbeerkerne naherzu komplett eliminiert zu werden. Dies macht dieses Bier zu einer nicht leicht trinkbare Harausforderung im Glas. Dagegen ist der Alkoholgehalt von 16,5% sehr gut eingebunden. Ein Bier der Extreme - aber auch Extrem GEIL!

Draft at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014 - Session 1. Pours black-brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose has lots of dark malts, rubber, dark fruits, chocolate. Light-medium sweet flavour with heavy char, bitter earth, oppressive astringency, drying burnt wood. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Hot finish, with more overbearing char, earth. Pretty much undrinkable. I struggled through a few sips.
