Unique Imperial Stout. Black, intense and komplex. Well-balanced roasted, fruity and liquorice notes with a mild bitterness and a hint of sweetness. Legendary brew from BFM clocking in at 10.276 % vol. With its ebony colour, a dense coffee flavoured foam, the bouquet incorporates hints of liquorice, Bourbon vanilla, and Sarawak pepper. Dry hopping notes and the use of roasted malts are also perceptible. On the palate, it introduces burly and creamy tastes with developing aromas that are slightly sour, but the finish proves to be long with a subtle tartness that grants this revolutionary Cuvee its ungovernable supremacy.

Bottled. POurs very dark w/little head. It was strange, I was expecting a sweeter stouty flavor but instead I got a cherry raspberry type flavor. It was differnt, I guess would have gone well with dessert.

Bottle from Beers & More, Zürich. Aroma is sweet dark malt, caramel, dark chocolate, dark fruits, berries, black tea. Flavour is sweet with a decent bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. Not full at all, rather light for an Imp. Stout. Decent but not great.

0.33l swing cap bottle thanks to Lore. Black body with a lasting light brown head. Bold chocolate and licorice notes in the aroma followed by raisins, grapes, sour cherries and grapefruit. Taste of chocolate, caramel, grapes, sour cherries, grapefruit, ash and grass. Thick bodied with a quite high carbonation. Pretty much like a strong BIPA because of it's hoppyness. Great one.

Overraskende. En imp stort med masse patentmalt? Og så avslører ingrediensene både pepper og russisk te, samt vanilje. Og ja, det var en litt besynderlig opplevelse. Oppkalt etter en lokal ekstremølbrygger - hvilket er passende. Jeg er avventende usikker.
