Schoppe Bräu Katerfrühstück, ein Imperial Vanilla Stout von nurmehr 10 %, Fläschchen aus dem Flaschbierschop im Prenzlberg. - Fast schwarz, milchkaffeebrauner aber kurzlebiger Schaum. - In der Nase fettes, üppiges Röstmalz mit wuchtiger Bitterschokolade (Mokkabohne), dezente kandierte Orangenschale, leichte holzig-erdige Hopfung (Perle) und leise weinige und säuerlich-roggenbrotige Züge. Vanille rieche ich kaum, vielleicht Rumrosinen. - Antrunk wuchtig und fett röstmalzig mit stark gesüßtem Mokka, sirupartiger aber noch stimmiger Malzsüße und gedämpfter obergäriger Frucht, abgerundet mit milder Hopfung. Wenig rezent, mastig; der Alkohol ist so gut kaschiert wie das bei 10 % noch möglich ist. Im Abgang schön malzbitter und nur wenig (fast blaß) hopfenherb. Die Vanille ist bestenfalls angedeutet. - Ein Starkbier in bester Schoppe-Manier: kantig, direkt und etwas unrund aber doch überzeugend. (23.9.2023.)

Bottle picked up from Getränkemarkt in Mühldorf am Inn and consumed at home Saturday 23rd April 2022 listening to Warmduscher - Hotspot. We had Asparagus and Ham Lasagna. Pours shark eye black with a creamy head. The aroma is chocolate a little vanilla and a light hint of coffee. Foavourwise some creamy vanilla, roasted malts, dark brown sugar providing milk chocolate. I guess it does what it needs to do right and is absolutely fine, but I'm a little bit underwhelmed.

Bottle. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of roast and dried fruit, with notes of vanilla and malt and estery touches. Sweetish flavour of vanilla and caramel malt, with estery notes and hoppy and roasty touches. Bitter, roasty aftertaste with acidic touches. A nice one, although I would be wary about drinking it as hair of the dog.

Bottle, 12%. Distinct brown sugar and dark bread aroma. Black colour, seems unclear. Small light brown head. The flavour is sweet, roasted, bready with a papery (but good) vanilla note. Some alcohol in the finish, but more warming than bitter.
