ABV: 13.0% IBU: - Ticks: 340
This big mother of a Russian Imperial Stout is often considered one of our true classics. Despite the 13% ABV, you'll find Black Albert to be dangerously drinkable. With its thick, tar-like body, it's definitely a sipper, but the alcohol is very well-hidden.

The nuances of this fresh stout are so different from those of an aged bottle. I don't think it's a good idea to compare them, because a new one will only be disappointing. Try it by itself and judge it in its own right.

Bottle shared at home. A classic, no-twist impy with incredibly thick and heavy body and super soft carbonation. Pleasant aroma and taste (grains, chocolate and some booze mainly) but nothing extraordinary really. With an average score this high, I expected more really.

another bottle from ryan, thank you!
pous jet black with a small mocha head. aroma is quite inviting. lots of cocoa, vanilla, dark fruit, and some subtle licorice. flavor us super super roasty, with hnts of coffee, and some more cooca, with a great lingering savory bitter finish. Incredibly balanced, and the 13% is hidden impeccably well. Outstanding stout.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. 2016 vintage. Aroma is dark malt, cocoa, caramel, roast, chocolate, candy sugar, raisins, and some liquorice. Flavour is quite sweet and moderate bitter. Alcohol is covered well. Body is full. A very Belgian Stout with its candy sugar and raisins. Pretty rich, enjoyable.

Аромат кофе и немного какао. Пиво густое и маслянистое, очень хорошо пенится кофейной кремовой пенкой. Во вкусе чувствуются кофейные бобы и зерна. На заднем фоне виднеются винные нотки. К сожалению очень сильно чувствуется алкоголь, который сильно мешает удовольствию.

Vintage 2023, pudeldatud 2024. Ok Albert, aga olen paremat albertid saanud. Ehk aastake seismist tasandaks nurki veits. Muidu hakkasin vaatama: OG 26P ja ABV 13% - selle järgi võiks arvata, et see õlu on märksa kuivem ja vähem magus..
