Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 20C). Bottle 33 cl - Batch nr 2 (BBF 10/2018). AROMA: medium-low sour-like aroma, mixed with medium alcohol notes (almost solvent) and low roasted malt background. APPEARANCE: balck color and opaque. cereal hull in suspension at the top. medium brown head with no retention. TASTE: medium roasted/burnt cereal flavor with mild sour character and an odd old wood-like note. medium-high bitterness with a dry and roasted finish. PALATE: medium-high to high body with very low carbonation. almost absent alcohol warmth. OVERALL: an imperial stout with recipe and execution problems, and an odd wood-like flavor (altough the label does not say it is barrel aged).

Tap. Tasted on the 21/10/2017 at II In Peccatum Beer Fest. Dark brown colour with a medium and foamy tan head. Aroma of strong alcohol, wood, liquorice, roasted malts and coffee. Taste is strong liquor, caramel and malts. Aftertaste is too sweet caramel. Strong finish and aftertaste. Next one please!

Barman’s Delight #1 - Catraio (PT). Not the highlight I expected. Metallic nose, which keeps me from enjoying it fully.
