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.

2016er Edition - fließt ins Glas wie Motoröl. In der Nase röstig, Zartbitter-Schokolade. Im Trunk unfassbar cremig, sehr schokoladig, süß, mittig holzig, rauchig, Röstmalz, hinten bitterer, verbrannt, aber lecker. Wahnsinnig geile Komposition, großartige Drinkability, absolutes Spitzenbier!

Many thanks for this beer to JefVerstraete. Vintage 2014. Kompleksowe i ze sporym potencjale dojrzewania RIS. Moge wreszcie stwierdzic ze tu wysoka ocena nie byla sztucznie zawyzona, nareszcie jestem zadowolony z jakosci wysoko ocenionego piwa z US. A jak jest dokladnie, aromat mocno wyczuwalny, czekolada gozka, sporo kawy, naprawde jest wyczuwalna jakby swiezutkie i mocne espresso z ekspresu automatycznego. W smaku slodkawe na samym poczatku by po chwili poczuc bourbona w stylu Jacka Danielsa. Oczywiscie kawa, czekolada z 90% kakao i troche trufli. Wytrawne tez sie to wyczuwa. Oprocz dobrego smaku wyglad tez ladny, ciemno brazowa barwa bez zadnych przeswitow. Piana moze i srednia i nie znaczaca obecnosci na moim snifterze ale jest ciemna poczatkowo puszysta, z odcieniem zoltka jaja i gesta jak mgla w Smolensku. Kapitalny carski stout. Big Thanks Jef.

Bottle, 0.355l, shared with CanCrusher. Pours pitch black with small and quickly diminishing light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, smoke, dried fruit. Taste starts sweet and rich roasted malty, chocolate and licorice follows, mild fruity and herbal note present, too. Mouthfeel is thick, warming and smooth, while finish is medium bitter. Full body, thick texture and soft to average carbonation in palate. Awesome...

Bottle at home sourced from Toft Vin, Copenhagen - black pour with a tan head. Dark roasted and sweet malty aroma and taste with coffee, chocolate, caramel, treacle, hoppy backing, dark dried fruit, some earthy charred burnt malty notes in the finish. Solid.

Pours pitch black color, topped with a medium small head, dark coffee cream colored, creamy and lasting. Mild chocolate nose with some roastiness upfront. Gentle with some fruity notes present as well as some vanilla. Creamy and silky body. Chocolate sweetness is moderate with some final warmth of alcohol. Aftertaste is gently roasted and lasting. Very lovely and easily drinkable.
