Fat på Örebrewfest 2019, session 2. Backlog. Massiv doft av saltkaramell/kola-havssalt! Smaken bär inte upp riktigt lika väl, men gott hur som.

16 ounce can into snifter; no can dating, but was just released. Pours dense opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger dense and creamy khaki head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Amazing appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, vanilla, cream, toffee, brown sugar, roasted nuts, fudge, toasted biscuit, spicy rye, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of molasses, licorice, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, wood, herbal, grass, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Slight booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/rye/bready malts, cocoa, vanilla, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, vanilla, cream, toffee, brown sugar, roasted nuts, fudge, toasted biscuit, spicy rye, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of molasses, licorice, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, wood, herbal, grass, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light pine, herbal, grassy, woody, peppery hop; and roast/charcoal bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, vanilla, cream, toffee, brown sugar, roasted nuts, fudge, toasted biscuit, spicy rye, dark/brown bread/crust, molasses, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, wood, herbal, grass, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/rye/bready malts, cocoa, vanilla, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with an awesome roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Mild increasing warmth of 12%, with no booziness lingering after the finish. Overall this is an amazing flavored dessert imperial stout! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/rye/bready malts, cocoa, vanilla, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the huge ABV, with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Nicely soft feel, not overly bitter/charred. Insanely rich rye/oats/malt complexity, with cocoa/vanilla flavors; great earthy hop presence/balance against sweetness, and restrained fruity yeast notes. A highly amazing offering, and top tier style example. Perfectly balanced between all flavors.
