On tap @Good Karma. Short, fat 10oz glass. Rated this somewhere else long ago. Black, but dull. Oatmeal head, wispy lace. Bourbon & carob nose. Bourbon & water, old wood, Old Fashioned, nutty, port, bitter greens, soft pine, black cake. Lingering acid. Sloppier then I remember. Heavy, low carb, carpet, boozy. Like. Been a while.

Bottle from Systembolaget. A very decent imperial stout that did not scream any parituclar flavours but was highly sophisticated. Nice to try.

Black with large light brown head. A complex little thing with aroma of wooden barrels, chocolate, dried fruit, coffee and licorice sense. Sweet wirh a warm wooden barrels, chocolate and dark fruit end. Full bodied, nice!
