A prolonged repose in bourbon-soaked American oak barrels adorns a dark chocolate profile with notes of toasted coconut and vanilla. A rich, supple texture belies the unholy power of our Imperial Oatmeal Stout.

Can. Ratebeer rating #22222. 2022 vintage. A beer worthy a kind of celebration. It pours a black body, quite oily, with just a thin ring of beige bubbles. The aroma has a good dash of alcohol, along with toffee, dark chocolate and coffee. Coconut, oak notes, heavy caramel sauce, some leather and tobacco. It's full bodied and warming, oily and softly carbonated, sweet but not cloying. Smooth, quite bitter. Or is it the alcohol that brings the bitter feeling? Roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee and alcohol in the flavor. Brown sugar, toffee, coconut and leather. Even a vague touch of soy sauce and licorice. Tobacco, cigar, oak. Everlasting finish. A fantastic beer, that's for sure. Would have loved to see variations of this on different barrels and perhaps with a high quality coffee. An expensive beer sure worth every Danish krone. 240502

Täitsa mõnu vaadine impy, vaati on ikka siin tunda, burboonist vaniljet on ohtralt, tammest hapukust ja tanniine ka, 14.8% katab suht hästi. Samas tunda on, et tummine ja soojendav kraam. Hea, negatiivselt poolelt: siin on ka pärmisus, mis mulle ei meeldi

Craft Beer Junction bottleshare, thanks to Fergus for the can. Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Airy and semi dry palate. Decent fine carbonation. Good rich dark malts, cream and dark chocolate. Boozy dark chocolate malts, dark chocolate Malteasers. Nice soft bourbon soaked ripe fruits. Yeah, nothing unusual here but what has been brewed is still class for the now common style.
