A dark, creamy Russian Imperial Stout with a light wooded taste of american oak, a hint of vanilla and a nice cocoa smell, a touch of bitterness. For sure, you'll enjoy it.

Many thanks to Beerhunter111 for sharing. Smooth and deep beginning. Intense dry, roast and caramel. Deep refreshing. Hints of smoke, malt and roasted caramel. Nice.

33cl bottle from my Secret Santa VDuquerroux, many thanks! A black beer with a lovely good lasting tan head. Aroma of dark roasted malt, coffee, sweet chocolate. Taste of intense dark roasted malt, ash, coffee, tobacco, sticky, slightly boozy.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Black very dark brown colour lasting tan head. Tarry liquorice aroma. Smooth in the mouth. More liquorice. Some dark chocolate. Some coffee. I am not a big fan of liquorice. Finish is quite dry. Some hop presence a little blackcurrant fruit on finish. So its well made drinkable no faults. Just not my flavour.

25/06/2017 - tasting glass @ Swafff 2017. Black colour with small tanned head. Nose is lots of licorice, booze, some roast. Taste is - I would’ve said rhum but I suppose it was some bourbon - roasted malts, licorice.

Thank you for sharing Antwerp Untappd Crew! Sampled draft @ Swafff 2017! Black, little tanned head. Nose is umami, licorice, cacao, herbal. Taste is herbal, plastic, far too licorice, umami, cacao, leaves, black licorice. Body is licorice, herbal. Bourbon & vanilla are lost for me. Decent beer overall but there is far better as far as this style goes.

Noir opaque, faible effervescence, mousse beige quasi inexistante. Nous sommes bien devant un Imperial Stout. Le nez ne trompe pas non plus, sur le chocolat, le café, la tourbe et légèrement sur le fumé. A la dégustation, c’est par sa rondeur que la Nervermore se fait remarquer. L’alcool ne se sent absolument pas (malgré ses 9,5 % Abv). Ceci ne gâche cependant en rien l’intensité aromatique, avec une ampleur en bouche de haut niveau. Belle progressivité également dans les arômes avec néanmoins un final manquant d’envolée. Cependant, on regrettera des arômes quelquefois imprécis et pas assez brillants. L’attaque, suave, propose des notes principalement tournées sur le chocolat et agrémentées de belle façon par de la vanille, des fruits rouges et une pointe de fumée (pas excessive, bien dosée). La deuxième bouche s’adoucit encore, sur le fruit et le chocolat, avec en parallèle une arrière bouche parfaitement équilibrée, davantage sur l’amertume et des arômes café/chocolat. La troisième bouche voit le café prendre les devants avec une amertume croissante tout en restant modérée. Le final déçoit quelque peu, manquant de longueur et de flamboyance, mais présentant tout de même quelques notes épicées. L’impression de sucre en bouche est marquée, alourdissant la bouche, mais avec des arômes pleins, cette Nevermore se laisse agréablement aborder.

Opaque black - brown beer, good tan head. Palate is smooth and slightly viscous. Decent fine carbonation. Licorice streaked dark malts, trace f malt cream. Little malt bitterness. Tangy dark fruits underneath. More licorice and some spice before a dry finish. Tidy.

Good rubiginous beige head, stable, with textbook lace over virtually black beer. Sweet-salty smoked ham aroma, roast & smoke, yet sweet. Hints at alcohol. Bitterish-roasted, overtoasted cereals, breadcrust (Maillard?). Little in the line of Bourbon, if for the sweetness, lots of smoke, however. Bitter(ish) cacaopowder. Feels thick, well-bodied, creamy. Alcoholburn; dry finish going over in similar aftertaste. Not bad, just on no point outstanding.
