22 ounce bottle. Pours dark brown with a 1 finger dense light tan head with very good retention and decent lacing. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, caramel and roasted malts. Taste of chocolate, coffee, molasses, caramel and dark fruits. It has a bit of bitterness on the finish with some alcohol warming after the finish as well. This goes down surprisingly smooth for it’s alcohol content, with a very creamy body. Medium carbonation and body. This is an enjoyable stout, very interesting and different from what I have had in the past. Tasty, this got better as it warmed up a bit more.

Bottle 65 cl. Opaque dark brown with a dense light brown head. Mashy aroma, nuts and roasted malt. Quite full-bodied with very sweet burned caramel accents, nuts and wood. Very alcoholic finish without much bitterness. More candy water that Imperial stout. 110709
