My white whale!
Reviewed from notes.
Bottle into a snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in the glass, finger and a quarter of tan foamy head which dissipated at a fine pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: deep dark and milk chocolate up front with genuine vanilla beans, roasty coffee tones and subtle espresso-like qualities roll in there with the ancho chili tones providing a quaint yet balanced earthy spice vibe
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together in a sweet, roasty and light spicy quality; finishes with the roasty and sweet portions and a light undertone of the chili tones
Texture: medium bodied with a superb sipping quality about it (you're nuts if you pound this beer and I'll probably ignore your beer reviewing skills after that); some smoothness to this beer, semi-dry with a smooth roasty tone to it
Overall: what an absolutely wonderful impy stout I would love to smack around some day again - if I ever get my hands on another bottle.

Very dark brown and opaque. Syrupy, really full bodied. Raisin aroma, with dark fruit and cinnamon taste.

Draft from whole foods alexandria. Pours inky dark with brown edges. Roasted malts, booze and some fruit. Pretty nice.

750ml bottle, 2024 vintage. Cinnamon aroma with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, chili peppers and vanilla. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has decent retention and good lacing. Starts with roasted malt, chocolate and chili pepper flavors as well as having a rich, full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with cinnamon and vanilla flavors. Wonderful imperial stout.

From tap at Van Moll, Eindhoven. Aroma is dark chocolate cake, dark malt, spiced dark bread, brownies, light vanilla, dark chocolate, light alcohol, cinnamon, dessert cake. Flavour is rather sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is full and rich. Amazing dessert Stout, liquid chocolate cake.

Аромат весьма шоколадный, есть какао как будто, специи, включая корицу. Цвет черный, пенки почти никакой нету. Вкус весьма глубокий и сбалансированный. Есть шоколад прежде всего, весьма разный причем, какао, ваниль, корица и другие специи. Также есть перичные намеки на финише, но не в самом вкусе а скорее на гортани что то ощущаешь. В целом очень хорошо, баланс.
