AB 6 Bottle courtesy of Hugh. Pours reddish black with a very small dark moch head that quickly dissipates without leading any trace on the glass. Smell is sweet, earth and herbal with roasted malts, grapefruit rinds, dark roast coffee, pine needles, resinous wood, moist grass and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter, malty, earthy and herbal with roasted malts, burnt caramel, resinous wood, moist grass, pine needles, moist soil, sweetened coffee and alcohol. Mouthfeel is viscous, syrupy, boozy, astringent and near full bodied. Finish is heavy bitter with roasted malts, dark roast coffee, resinous wood, pine needles, moist soil, liquorice and burnt caramel. Huge but I imagine this is way past it’s prime,

Botella de 37.5 cl numero 4626 de 8973 de 16-05-2011. tomada en la cantina renfe en agosto de 2013. Me esperaba mas de esta imperial black ipa, algo mas de amargor por ejemplo, pero en general no está del todo mal. Sabores tostados y quemados con un cuerpo medio-alto y un paso por boca bastante ligero y poco denso. Sensación alcohólica bastante buena con 11.2 vol muy intensos. Color negro intenso con poca espuma oscura y poco persistente. Podía aspirar a algo mas.

Bottle - Vintage ?? - Perfumy citrus and pine. Black with a thin beige head. Flowery citrus and pine translate into taste with a roast malt in the background. Although booze is there it is masked well and works with the sweetness. There is next to no bitterness and is very dry. Unfortunately there is no carbonation left which ruins it a bit.

Bottle at home, from Utobeer, 12/10/13. Pours extremely dark mahogony brown meets light black with a thin tan covering. Nose is caramel malt, hops, light pine, boozey waft, berry fruit, black forest gateaux. Taste comprises earthy hops, light roast, pine needle, berry fruit compote, cocoa dusting, brown sugars. Full bodied, slick and slightly oily, smooth on the palate, berry booze and semi aggressive earthy hopness in the last hurrah. Tasty ’imperial’ CDA. The alchohol is well tempered and this is holding up very well for over 2 years old !
