Draught, taster. Sampled on the 12/05/2018 at "Mikkeller Beer Celebration 2018", Copenhagen. Pours black with a beige and creamy head. Aroma is intense cocoa nibs, spices, cinnamon, whisky, roasted malts and intense black chocolate. So fucking intense and complex aroma! Taste is dark chocolate, cinnamon, whisky and roasted malts. Rich, spice and warm finish with strong presence of cocoa and wood barrels. Next one please!

Fat på MBCC 2018, grönt pass. Kolsvart med mörkbrunt tjusigt skum. Massor av kanel, vanilj, bourbon, kola, kokos och choklad som växer till sig. Stor maffig kropp. En lätt hetta från chilin. Kletig med marsipan och likörpralin i avslutningen. Mäktig. Tack Samuel214

Rating #8000. Tap at MBCC 2018, green session - HUGE thanks to J&C (fonefan) for getting this first and not finishing it until I was in! Black color with beige head. Aroma is cinnamon, black chocolate, super intense but not overdone; maybe a touch too boozy. Taste is cinnamon, some barrel sugars, chili catch, hot chocolate. Amazing. Thick oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Wow, this really is better than regular Abraxas, on par with DL De Muerte for the best ImpStout I've ever had. God Juice!
