Idjit is a potent imperial stout, black as the night and dark as sin. Loaded with roasted malts and the perfect amount of bittering hops, it is as smooth as it is powerful. A beer you can count on, any time, any where.
This beer started out as an experiment. Mikael likes to tell the story like this: One of our brewers wanted to see how strong a beer we could brew (at our old brewery in Mölndal). The result was a 16% imperial stout which according to Mikael was super gross; Too much of everything, unbalanced. An idiot beer if you will. However, after a few tries of scaling the recipe down and tweaking it a bit, getting the malt bill just right, we had made our idiot into our Idjit. And as we all know, Idjits rule!

Bottle 25 cl. Courtesy of joergen. Pours black with a vague orange hue and a small beige head. Hard roast malt in the nose with some vinous dark fruits. Solid body, sweet hard roast vanilla and dark dried fruits. Very subdued hops. Pleasant and yummy indeed. 221110

Bottled. Black colour, smal head. Aroma is liquorice, some alcohol, mild wooden notes as well as some slight vanilla, tobacco and slight roasted notes. Flavour is quite much the same, with the liquorice being the strongest element. Lovely Imperial Stout!

Bottle (Stockholm Beer Festival 2010) - Black in colour. Inviting aroma with notes of roasted malt, plain chocolate and coffee. The taste is rich, yet nicely balanced, with notes of coffee and plain chocolate particularly evident. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Very black, beige creamy head. Grainy aniseed aroma. Fairl dry with full body and dense mouthfeel. Grainy malt and licorice, notes of coffee and vanilla. Concentrated flavour, but surprisingly dry and drinkable. Really nice!
