Aroma of dark malts, liquorice, some coffee and chocolate, dark fruits, raisins. Flavour is sweet with a moderate bittersweet finish. A bit boozy. This is a tasty but definitely not top tier Imperial Stout.

33 cl bottle (9,2%) @ hotel room, Rome. BBE 11/2014
Aroma has sweet cocoa notes and some oat. Also chocolate and alcohol. Flavour has oat, alcohol. chocolate and cocoa. Also somewhat salty licorice. Quite typical oat-IS, but I like it. Definitely better than I expected. Gets some weird herbal tones at the end of the glass with yeast poured in.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks Stas. Vicous motor oil pitch black with no head. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, a licorice note and a bit of alcohol. Sweetish and slightly acidic flavor with dark chocolate, a light fruity note and a more roasty finish. Quite full-bodied, rounded mouthfeel. Good.
