I've had this 330 ml bottle of Lava put away since our summer visit to Reykjavik. Pulled it out of the stash and am ready to sample now. I've got a Teku glass ready to go, You cannot get much blacker than this one, a smallish circle of medium tan foam surrounds the glass. It has a promising scent, chocolate, red fruit and some of the smoke coming through. And speaking of smoke, I usually find it distracting to an imperial stout. In this case, not as much. Baking chocolate, wheat bread, tobacco, a fruit sweetness and a small but obvious smoke presence. Very drinkable.

Bottle, shared with heavy. Enormous thanks Kristina! Almost pitch black body, off white head. Smooth, damn smooth aroma, smoke, light chocolate, sweetish and pleasant. Smooth sweetish smokey taste, fruity touches, light chocolate. Very balanced, very silky, just light alcohol touches. Simply put - a very classy beer worthy of the hype!

Bottle. Black pour. Aroma of delicious smoked malt, chocolate, licorice, coffee and burned caramel. Taste has rich smoke, burned caramel, bitter chocolate, licorice, smokey meat, malt and some bitter hops for balance. Really good smoked beer with a strong body. Bamberg quality from iceland.

Flaska från Island. Mörk brunsvart med beigebrun skumpuck. Rostat och snällt rökig med toner av mörka bär, toffee och choklad. Rökigheten överlag ganska snäll och trots att den går lite mer åt en välrostad och kärv old school imp stout så finns det bra med sötma här också. Throwback och gott.

Micsoda egy zsenialisztikus ötlet. Már mint az imperial stout és a rauchbier össze keresztezése. Meg kell vallanom h egy kicsit röstellem is magam h nem az én fejemből pattant ki, mint andezit a heklából.
