0,33 flaske (bb. 30.10.23), hjemme på nyttårsaften: ugjennomtrengelig svart, med fint cappucinofarget skum som varer. Viskøs, som å helle rapsolje i glasset. Pregnant aroma av kaffe, lakris, vanilje og den mørkeste sjokolade. Fet, langtrekkende smak med en overraskende mild bitterhet. Med hånden på mitt promillehjerte kan jeg ikke si at jeg kjenner calvadoseffekten (til tross for at calvados en av mine favoritter innen brunt brennevin). Tørr, kremet, fyldig, kompleks og antakelig sterkt vanedannende. 12,12% iflg. etiketten. Thanks, Mike! Og godt nyttår til alle rb-sjeler.

In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with light peated notes, light pepper notes, dark fruits and chocolate, coffee grind, loads of alcohol warmth. Bottle from Bièropholie, via MartinT.

Poured into a teku showing pitch black center and thin coffee brown rims with very quick dissipating foam despite an aggressive pour. The nose shows a roasted dark maltiness with a mix of roasted ground coffee. A whisper of vanilla throughout. The palate is medium bodied and very lightly carbonated. The first flavors show a lot of the roasted ground coffee flavors, more akin to espresso. Finish shows more of a dark chocolate bitterness. Oak is felt at the end given a slight brightness to the beer.

Willrunforbeer hooking me up with the variants! 250 ml bottle. Much love here buddy! The viscosity is just as oily as the base. I’m not an expert on Apple brandy but I just got some schooling. Aroma is mild Cognac with a weak sweetness. Some barrel.
The body feels fuller then the base with a nice barrel character, subtle. The Brandy is rather smooth with very subtle Apple. Very low carbonation level with a nice base of roasted malt. Kind of like the base just a bit more than this.

330 ml bottle from Ammersin 5, Vienna.
Pitch black body, with a tiny, very dark, coffee colored head.
Aroma of coffee, sweet dark chocolate, bitter cocoa, liquorice, tobacco, some barrel notes, booze.
Delicious, rich taste of melted dark chocolate, cocoa powder, coffee, tobacco, liquorice, booze, some dark fruits.
Thick, oily mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes alcoholic, roasty-bitter, wooden, quite dry, a bit smoked.
Very tasty! Alcohol is noticeable, but still drinks smooth for the ABV, with a wonderful, rich, complex taste. Overall not my favourite Imperial Stout by Mikkeller (there are just too much outstanding ones!), but delicious nonetheless.

Bottle during RBWG. Pours black with small tan head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is roasted malt and dark chocolate. Medium mouth with nice char and roast, dark chocolate, vanilla, wood, very good.
