Tap at Faucets. Nice enough, but a little disappointing considering how nice their lagers are at the moment. Roasty, booze well hidden, little bit of smooth sweetness. Rerate, Nov 2016: Light marker pen aroma, caramel. Taste has something interesting, light smoke and meat, roast, bit sweet, nice chocolate and richness. But easy drinking.

Opaque black with no head. Nice lacing. Cacao, roasted malts and wood on the nose. Slightly watery mouthfeel with a touch of stickiness, but the body is too thin. Overly sweet on the palate with some bitter roastiness that comes out as well. Slight bitter finish that lingers. Not bad. --- Beer merged from original tick of Imperial Stout on 06 Jun 2015 at 15:00 - Score: 7

pitch black color. Roasted malt and dark fruit nose. Light bodied, alcohol well hidden, smooth. Not such big roasted character with dark fruit. Needs more roastiness. Decent and deceivingly nice and drinkable, but not uber complete

Tap at Eni-bru. Shiny black with lace. Nose is roasty wood, coffee, brown sugar, light berries. Sweet, fruity flavor with chocolate and cream, cola, and a nice, prickly hop finish. A bit too sweet, but good.
