Keg @ Haket. Pours black with a small mocha head that leaves some sparse trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is malty with roasted malts, toffee, dark chocolate, coffee, minerals, rich sweet liquorice candy and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, heavy bitter, malty and roasty. Mouthfeel I round, astringent, tiny boost and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet and heavy bitter with plenty of burnt roasty bitter chocolate, ash and slightly acidic charcoal. Bit hefty on the roast. Would have liked something rounder and smoother. --- Beer merged from original tick of B022 - Imperial Stout on 29 Feb 2016 at 21:07 - Score: 7. Original review text: Nicely chocolate heavy but a bit harsh in the mouth with tons of roast, ash and charcoal.
