TSAR is rich and powerful, a full bodied Imperial Stout. Malty chocolate, mocha and dark berry fruit-notes preside over a subtle hop profile, whilst a smooth velvety texture in the mouth gives way to a lingering bitter, dark chocolate finish.

(Bottle) Black colour with creamy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with strong black coffee, black rye bread, cacao, liquorice, ashes and a touch of asphalt. Malty, roasted taste with notes of black coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice, black rye bread, prunes, leather, a touch of tar and a generous cacao bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a slight sweetness. Really tasty and well made, fairly well balanced for its strength. Very nice.

On tap at Fermentoren, Copenhagen. Pours dark brown with lasting light brownish head. Malty, roasted, coffee, licorice, chocolate, some vanilla. Quite sweet, but I wouldn’t say too much. Oily. Medium to full bodied.

Bottled Sep 1st, 2014, drunk 7/23/16, thanks to Brian.
Awesome, massively well-retained dark beige head sits atop a dark mahogany body of low clarity.
Clean, crisp, clear citrus and floral hops in the nose are somehow still prevalent after all these years. Cocoa, vanilla, biscuit and fudge quickly fill in the gaps as the hops disappear permanently. Choco-graham cracker with good, dry, crunchy coffee notes. Very light raisin-prune character could be more acidic and balancing, but it’s not that sweet, so the relative balance is good. Strong acidity in the mouth, getting bready and very biscuity-chocolatey. I guess the alcohol dosent build up too badly. Pretty nice, though a bit bitter and dry/roasty.

375ML bottle. Thanks WillRun. Smells great. smells like coffee and oak and even whiskey. loads of chocolatey espresso aroma with vanilla. this smells great. Taste is great. smokey, peet, vanilla, espresso. Dense mouthfeel, thick and almost creamy. Peet throughout with ashy charcoal. I think this is fantastic. a traditional imperial stout with a modern finish. Love it was bottle conditioned.

Old rating transferred to Ratebeer. Very very dark beer, a bit to light body for me for an imp. stout.
