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.

12 oz. nitro bottle, from Dan. Pours black, with a medium, fine, frothy tan head. The aroma is light coffee and chocolate. Very sweet flavor, with just a little roasted bitterness. Heavy body, with a characteristically lively and velvety mouthfeel from the nitrogen. This is a relatively light and easy drinking imperial stout; smooth and tasty, but not very complex.

donker bruin tot zwart met matige bruine kraag. Aroma’s van gebrande en geroosterde mouten, maar vooral van volle chocolade, verder rozijnen, donker fruit. Smaken beginnen met een volle romige chocolade, verder komen de geroosterde en de gebrande mouten lekker door, tevens donkere fruiten zoals rozijn, pruim, caramel, medium zoet, medium bitter. Het bier is lekker gebalanceerd en goed sterk. De context deed het cijfer waarschijnlijk ook boosten, maar ik vond hem erg lekker ! --- Beer merged from original tick of Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout on 23 Apr 2020 at 20:12 - Score: 7.

Bottle. Aroma has rich roasted malts. Chocolate, toffee, roasted. Dark fruits, plums, raisins. Almost black colour. Taste is from the first sip high in alcohol, with rich character. Chocolate and roasted, low on coffee. Background fruitiness. Very good one. Full body, but nicely drinkable.

Botella de 65 cl en el Lupulo. 17-12-13. Color negro intenso con espuma un poco oscura no muy persistente. Cuerpo medio bastante fácil de beber algo denso sobre todo a medida que va calentando. Aromas tostados y chocolate y café con cierto toque especiado y de caramelo. Sabores torrefactos seguidos de dulce y especias con sabor amargo final muy contenido y sobre todo café y quemado. Muy buena además con 10.2 vol que se suben a la cabeza rápidamente. Para repetir una cuarta vez más.
