Bottle, thanks Taboada! Black color with brown head. Aroma is coffee, black chocolate. Taste is more coffee and chocolate. Quite a classic Imperial Stout, would not have expected it to be this "regular" from the bottle design.

10th July 2016 with the RBESG guys in Barcelona. This was on tap at Abirradero. Black bodied beer, light brown head. Roasted malts ruled both the nose and taste with coffee notes being the main flavour from those malts, some chocolate and other Imp Stout stuff like vanilla and liquorice could also be found in this fairly alcoholic brew.

0.something something sized container that's disguised like a calf medicine bottle. Twist cap and everything! A dark black stoutish look on this one. I can't really remember what I was expecting, but not really this. A big brown head on the top. Smells roasted. Some coffee, some really fresh hoppy tones also. Almost grassy. Yeah I like this aroma. Soft on the mildly prickling carbonation and thick oily in the mouth. There's Lots of dark charred burned flavors. Vanilla, brownies and its roasted all the way. Really flavorful. Thick and intense! 11.08.2014

Yeah, good ol’ prohibition days... though they never had that in Spain, did they? This pours dirty oil black with no head - exactly like how you’d pour dirty oil into a glass. Heavy and rich barley aroma with coffee hints, dark chocolate, very strong on the nose, well done. Flavour is a lot of heavy and sharp barley. Good for sipping, need a water chaser fo shizzle. Dry finish. This is a good heavy stout that will beat you up if you drink it too fast. Otherwise it’s nice to see the style so well done.

200 ml bottle, bb April 2017. Thanks to my EU Local Swap sender Taboada!
Black body, with a small, dense, coffee-colored head.
Aroma of melting dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, liquorice, some vanilla, subtle dark fruits.
Taste follows this, with additional tobacco and some wooden notes.
Medium, oily to creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes roasty, a bit bitter, quite dry, wooden, with coffee, liquorice, tobacco, cocoa.
Tasty. Maybe not the most complex style example, but dense and well balanced, with lovely dark sweet and roasty notes, while it drinks pretty smooth. Nice surprise, really a top Imperial Stout.
