Narwhal Imperial Stout is inspired by the mysterious creature that thrives in the deepest fathoms of the frigid Arctic Ocean. Rich with notes of espresso, baker’s cocoa, roasted grain and a light hint of smoke, Narwhal brims with malt complexity. Aggressive but refined with a velvety smooth body and decadent finish, Narwhal will age in the bottle for years to come.

Draught, Darby's DTES. Dark brown. Medium head. Nutty, chocolatey aroma, with maybe a touch of dark fruit. Dark burnt fruit, solid alcohol signature. Decent, but doesn't entirely come together for me - it's ok but it does seem like it's missing something.

Caña en Cimmeria 19..01..2019. (r1499) Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco casi por completo. Sabores intensos maltosos tostados con buena dosis de torrefactos que se quedan algo secos al final dejando buen toque amargo. Cuerpo medio con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio. Bastante sabor y final seco amargo torrefacto al final. Cierta densidad y fina en boca. Bastante buena, para repetir

0.355 l bottle from 'Craft Beer Dealer', 2016 vintage, cellared for almost two years. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, stable, light brown head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty aroma of chocolate, hazelnut, coffee, some licorice and a touch of vanilla. Medium sweet, malty, gently roasty, rather bitter taste of chocolate, coffee, licorice, burnt bread crust, some vanilla and hints of tobacco, followed by a long, rather roasty-bitter, earthy-dry and warming finish, already showing some signs of oxidation. Full body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really heavy beer, quite surprising too me as I expected a rather mainstream-oriented one. Would love to try a BA version!

Bottle. Misty deep brown to black. Beige head. Aroma: big malts, roast, molasses, esters. Vinous. Medium to full body. Taste: light sweet. Rich maltiness. Dried fruit. Port wine. Some caramel. Well-hopped. Perfect. That's what I mean by a classic imperial stout.
