10 specialty malts make up this majestic imperial stout conditioned on heaps of coffee and vanilla beans. Simple, yet complex. Brewed at Crazy Mountain Brewing Co in the USA and De Proefbrouwerij in Belgium.

Black color, minimal tan head that quickly dissapears. Aroma with notes of sweet and roasted malts, vanilla and ripe black fruit. Flavor is slightly sweet, notes of vanilla are mostly present, coffee beans... Creamy and dense on palate. Roasty and coffee final.

At a tasting, thanks, almost no head, opaque black color, aroma of aromatic coffee liquor chocolate, some roasty notes, and a vanila sensation, Roasted coffee flavor with notes of mud and smoke and a hint of fruit, coffee becoming stronger as the beer warms up. Really nice and highly enjoyable.

Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of and shared with visnja666, thanks! Pitch black coloured, medium sized brown head, coffee in the nose. Roasted malt, pure dry coffee, light chocolate, vanilla and noticable but balanced alcohol with touch of wood. Rather dry roasted coffee finish. Again Omnipollo rocks.

Bottle. Pours inky black, medium black creamy head, dissipates slowly with good lacing. Aroma is molasses and licorice, coffee, heavy roast. Flavor is light plus sweet, quite bitter, licorice and anise, dark baking cocoa, heavy roast, ashy. Not much vanilla. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Lingering bitterness. The licorice is offputting for me. Bummer, I was really hoping for a nice sipper tonight.

Tasting at Matt’s
Pitch black color with brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, cardboard, light vanilla. Dry mouthfeel, roasted and ashy malts, with some acidity, and vanilla. Ashy final. Not impressive.
