This is a bigger and bolder version of our classic imperial stout Idjit. So, what does that make this beer then? An imperialer (it’s a word) stout? A more imperial stout? Let’s just say it’s big. Big idjit!
For a long time, almost since our very beginning, we’ve brewed our iconic imperial stout Idjit. We’ve not only brewed the regular version but barrel aged versions, putting it in everything from whisky to bourbon barrels. We’ve done a Christmas version and even a half version in which we cut the ABV down a bit. What we’ve never done (commercially) is a maxed out version. Well, until now that is. We’ve wanted to do this beer for a long time, an Idjit with extra everything. A straight forward big, bigger, biggest imperial stout. No fuss, just thick malty loveliness.

Bottle (from Boxbeers). Pours dark brown-black with light brownish head. Aroma iis sweet, roast, fresh coffee, chocolate, malt. Flavor is sweet and bitter, coffee, roast, malt, creamy notes, booze. Great mouthfeel, but finish is quite harsh roasty-hoppy-boozy bitter. Overall: mixed feelings, I like this beer a lot, but the finish is way too harsh. Tone down the finish and this could be easily 4+ beer for me.

Fat på All In Beer Fest 2017. Svart med brun krona. Doftar granola, havre, kaffe, kola, rostade toner. Stor i kroppen. Ligger nära doften i smaken. En standard imp stout i större format. Elegant, och gör det snyggt. Lätt rågsyrliga inslag och en lagom avvägd sötma. Gott.

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with little head (resembling a cola). Aromas of dry roasted malts, cola, and a bit of grass and alcohol. Flavors of chicory, licorice, roasted malts and whiskey like alcohol. Warm. Different than expected. Very good.
