Nice dark appearance with brown head, some notes of dark chocolate, roasty and salty. The taste follows, its pretty thick and intense, like a dark chocolate with some sea salt. Not quiet sure if I like the imperial stout to be salty but this is the result of oystering... still a complex and good tasting beer.

Botella 33 cl de cervezalandia tomada en Belmonte 28..12..2016 Lote B000331 hasta 16..11..2017. (r61) ...Elaborada con ostras frescas de Lindisfarne y paprika ahumado, esta cerveza rica y decadente celebra el tradicional matrimonio de ostras y cerveza.... Color negro intenso brillante con espuma oscura. Aromas y sabores maltosos salados con ligeros tonos herbaceos ligeros resinosos algo secos. Toques de regaliz ahumados y cacao ligeros. Cuerpo ligero a medio con 11 vol algo denso con ligero amargo seco al final. Bastante buena y original. Para repetir. Una gran oyster.

RBESG in Barcelona. Shared bottle at La Cervecita Nuestra De Cada Dia. Can hardly read my notes here, which may be largely explained by the beer’s 11% ABV (on top of a few other beers). Black colour. Dryish aroma with notes of smoke and roast malts. The flavour is not quite as dry as the aroma made me fear, still with a roasty character and some wood smoke.

Shared bottle at La Cervecita Nuestra De Cada Dia with the 2016 RBESG guys. Dark brew with a lumpy beige head. Liquorice lead to both the nose and taste with a slight smokiness from the over roasted malts also showing. Decent if a little ’over the top’ alcohol level wise.

Bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge. Very dark brown with a shade of indigo. Almost no head but there is a wisp of a mid-brown ring of head around the glass. Salted caramel aroma with prune, woodsmoke, port and strong booze in the aroma. Sweet, fruity, woody, smoky and slightly salty aroma. Slightly sour tannic finish, with more prunes, saltwater and red wine on the aftertaste. Silky mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Amazing beer.
