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 shared @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma color cappuccino, media, non molto persistente. Al naso note di cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, una leggerissima ossidazione. In bocca è abbastanza ben equilibrata, con attacco dolce e finale amaro medio. Corpo importante ma inferiore alle attese, carbonazione leggera. Non male, ma mi aspettavo di più.

Bottle at home. Black with beige head that leaves a few bubbles and islands. Lots of coffee and dark chocolate, lots of underlying liquorice, roasted malts and a light burnt touch. Bit of almonds and dried black berries and fresh blueberries. Soft grass. Over medium sweet and medium bitter. Full bodied. Lovely and complex RIS.

BOTTLE 33 CL. Almost black (with faint red highlights), beige head. Big nutty chocolate cake aroma (including the doughy notes), a little nutty, chocolate candies soaked in brandy. The taste has the same notes, but not as strong as the aroma - closer to a more classic impy with a rich brandy sweet chocolate profile. A very smooth and easy drinking body - almost too thin. Resembles the Noa Pecan a bit.
