33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg. Dark brown with a thin beige head. Soft roasted malts, dark fruits, some cognac maybe. Taste is sweet. Very soft for an imperial stout, it reminds me more of a abbey dubbel to be honest. However, very tasty and smooth drinking.

Bottle at home, thanks to my lovely girlfriend! Very dark brown with beige head. Raisins, light licorice, soft spicy notes, light cognac and brandy, caramel, toffee, marzipan, some alcohol, light red berries. I’d say about medium sweet and even less bitter, quite a light taste for an almost 10% beer. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not a typical BA imperial stout but also not a bad beer.
