bottle from beerbay online shop pours clear dark brown, light brown bubbly head. aroma is roasted malts, caramel, faint tofffee, faint chocolate, very well balanced hopping, good balance, very nice and clean imperial stout aroma. a little bit on the mild end of the spectrum, but clean and balanced. flavor is sweet roasted malty, brown sugar, little bit of chocolate, chili or peppery bite, end is a bit more roasted malty. the bitterness might become a little bit herbal hoppy towards the end, but overall the experience is near perfect old-scool imperial stout.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma media color cappuccino, non molto persistente. Al naso note di malti tostati, cioccolato, burro di arachidi, caffè. In bocca ha una entrata dolce con chiusura amara media-contenuta. Corpo pieno, carbonazione media. Le manca un po' di rotondità e profondità, ma nel complesso non è male.

Clear dark brown to black beer, dense creamy beige head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty, grains, soft roast, some chocolate notes, caramel touch. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: mocha, caramel, coffee, alcohol, pretty bitter roast, sweet as well, bit fruity, lots of dark chocolate, cocoa powder. Aftertaste: nice roast, bitter and hoppy, sweet malty touch, quite some alcohol, bit malty, more roast, some soy sauce, coffee, roasted finish, lovely!
