Dark Horizon 5th Edition

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours hazy dark brown with beige head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, dark dried fruits, ethanol. Tastes sweet with some bitterness. Medium bodied, sweet finish.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a deep brown color head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of coffee, nice rich black chocolate notes with some light roasted malt notes is quite enjoyable. Taste is a nice mix of floral coffee notes with nice rich black chocolate notes with some roasted malt and just enough residual sugar notes to offset some of the bitterness. Body is full with good carbonation and light warming alcohol notes. World-class imperial stout.

Bottle. Amazing presentation, very expensive but looks amazing. Pours a pitch black hue with a small white head, low carb. A big sweet smoky nose. Hot, dark fruit, molasses, sugary, rum, sweet hot sugars, some licorice, big smoke. This is huge. But, as you drink it, it smooths out. Quite good. Beastly, not doubt. Ashy, dark fruit finish. It is clearly 16% but is also drinkable. Very damn good.
