Top fermented beer which is subjected to a secondary fermentation in bottle. It is deep dark ebony in color with a cappuccino head. The nose has aromas of chocolate, licorice, coffee grounds and tobacco with alcohol nuances. Its full bodied, long lasting, smooth and dry mouth is followed by a surprisingly hot finish that breaks its initial fullness and makes you crave more!

330ml bottle from Bierkompass

Pours pitch black with a foamy brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, spices, chocolate and coffee. Taste is smooth and roasty with some warming spicy notes, chocolate and coffee. Finish is smooth and sweetish with hints of chili and chocolate. Okay, quite balanced imperial stout with a mild chili touch.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thin, fast-dying light brown head - very opaque, probably around 80% or so. Aroma of grapes, roasted malt, alcohol and a bit of peanuts. Full-bodied; Very deep pungent roasted malt flavour with some coffee, nuts, milk, prunes, plums, peat and a bit more alcohol. Aftertaste shows some strong flavours with alcohol, nuts, earth, milk and toffee the strongest, but the pit fruits and alcohol really comes out and ends with a bitter coffee and nut flavour. Overall, a nice imperial stout, with tons of flavour and a very smooth complexity. I sampled this super stubby (italian) 33 cL bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey for US$7.45 on 22-April-2012 sampled at home in Upstate New York on 24-December-2012.

Bottle at home (Domus Birrae, Roma) - 05/10/12. Rich black with a thick mocha head that soon thins to a pond and disperses to the edge of the glass. Roasted dark malts on the nose, molasses, chocolate, a little coffee. Rich roast malt flavour, dark chocolate, licqourice and a little alcohol. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation, a little too much for the style. Good imperial stout.

Bit of smoke in the aroma. Has a rich, thick texture. Initial roasted malt flavour. All the chilli is in the aftertaste giving a pleasant tingle in the throat.
