A dense, frothy dark tan head on a near black body. Lacing holds to the top of the glass. Nose is fresh ground coffee, cocoa and a touch of booze. Lots of tastes going on here. Fresh ground coffee, cocoa, oak, dark berries, whiskey, ash and a bitter finish. Very dry and dense. The bitterness, oak and ash make this a more challenging taste profile than many ISs.

From tap at Bierfestival Groningen 2018. Sweet with an aroma of coffee, molasses, syrup, soy sauce, roasted malt, laurel, fruit cake, and salty liquorice. Flavour is quite sweet with a moderate roasty bitterness. Body is full, bit sticky in the mouth. Not my favourite Imperial Stout aroma with the salty liquorice and syrupy molasses, but the coffee adds the balance that makes it work for me.

В аромате много прежде всего шоколада, немного зерен от бобов, есть немного дерева и чернослива с маслянистостью и горечью от нее. Цвет очень черный, тело прям маслянистое, пенка кофейная но падает весьма быстро. Вкус тяжелый как и ожидалось. Много терпкости, очень тяжело и с нотками алкоголя. При этом есть много ноток от шоколада но не горького, пряность от бобов, послевкусие горьковатое от бобов, маслянистость снова, немного дерева и изюма. В целом норма для стаута, но при согревание уж очень тяжелый становится.

Waxed bottle. Vintage 2014 (december). My version was 9,5% ABV. doskonale sie zestarzalo, czuc tu fajnie wszystkim co w imperialnym stoucie czuc sie powinno, palonosc, spora, kawy tez bez liku, nieco gozkiej czekolady, jakies przyprawy nieco dymne, o posmaku goryczkowo-palonym wyraznie sie to utrzymuje po przelknieciu, piana brazowawa nie za wielka srednio trwala, geste i oleiste, nie przejrzyste. dobrej klasy imperialny stout

On tap at Haandgemeng. It pours a more or less black body, at least it's not see-through. A small dark beige head sits on top. Some lacing. The aroma has coffee, dark sugar, dark dried fruits, a burnt touch and some licorice. It's full-bodied, sweet and smooth on the palate, with roasted malts, coffee, brown sugar, prunes and dried figs, some burnt malts and licorice flavors. Lasting malty finish. Sure, it's sweet, yet perhaps a bit on the dry side. Nice anyway. 171027

Pitch black beer, thick beige collar. Smell is malt, chocolate and caramel with a little something tangy and sweet that I can't quite place. Taste has dark chocolate, rich coffee, earthy malt, honey with a little boozy warmth in there too. Really smooth, probably thanks to the oats, and the warmth lingers. Lovely stuff.
