Good Morning. You’ve woken up dead. You’re in ruins.But don’t be discouraged. Here’s a black stout to brighten your day. It’s deadly delicious with dark chocolate cake aromas and hints of dried fruit, licorice, and coffee. It’s a beast of a beer you’ll crave from beyond the grave.

Darkest brown. Aroma is cocoa chocolate light mushroom. Taste is full mushroom soy sauce burnt cocoa. Misses some sweet chocolate notes or some general smoothness. Alright but not super.

Raisins, rum and dark berries in the nose, following through into the taste profile. Some chocolate with balancing hints of cherries, hops and malt make this a very satisfying and well crafted imperial stout, even if the body is slightly lighter than most others of the ilk.

355 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet Stavanger Verksgt. ABV is 10.2%. Black colour, moderate tan head. Aroma of roast malts, burnt breadcrumbs and mild coffee, a hint of liquorice. The flavour has the same elements, also some fruity notes of prunes, hints of dark chocolate and smoke, decent bittering hops in the finish.

Very light pour, looked like a porter, with a very lively thin head. Aroma of roasted malt, and not much else. Mouth feel was watery, and was pretty much all roasted malt with a light coffee finish. disappointing.

Pours a black as death beer with a nice tan head. Aroma of raisins, roasted malts, caramel, vanilla, coffee. Slight booziness at the finish. Great beer.

Bottle drunk on Halloween after trick or treat and putting an overly wound up, tired kid to sleep. Dark black, small tan head. Sweet syrupy roasted nose, black molasses and nearly burnt grain. Mouthfeel is huge, hint of soy, big bitterness balancing the sweetness pretty well. Flavor is big and bold, moderate complexity. Nice impy!
