Bottle sample at a tasting at Alexey’s place. Thanks Stas & Max. Black with a light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roast, caramel, nuts, a bit of licorice, a bit of dark fruit, some coffee, and a bit of alcohol. Sweet flavor, roasty, with chocolate, dark fruits, nuts, caramel, a bit of coffee. Medium to full-bodied.

Black colour, tan head. Sour aroma, chocolate, coffee, mocha, somewhat vinous. Sweet flavour, light sour notes, malts, milk chocolate and cacao. Medium to full body, sweet finish, chocolate, malts and sugar. Don’t know if the sour notes are supposed to be there, but they really add some depth to the flavour profile. Love this beer, especially considering the ABV.
(From 75cL bottle @ RBBSG II, Gent 2013. Thanks for sharing, Tim!!)

Courtesy of tderoeck. Thx! 75 cl. bottle sampled @ RBBSG II. BBF March/2012. Pours very dark brown, blackish, mocha head. Smell is sweet vinous, mocha, sour red fruit, berries, light chocolate, cocoa, very nice and unexpected. Taste is a wonderful sour RIS, I really do not think that, that was the intention but never the less this is a really good sour RIS. Not sure what is the cause, age, infection,…? Taste is a wonderful blend of sour berries, chocolate, sweet spices, coffee, chocolate cereal, light tang, fruits, med. tang, coffee, very light roast,… Med. grainy chocolate. I am a bit weirded out but this is really good.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Maltus Faber Imperial (by Maltus Faber):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 5/5, Overall: 13/20, MyTotalScore: 3.4/5
10/VIII/13 - 75cl bottle from Gradi Plato (Rome) @ RBBSG II, my place - BB: III/2012 (2013-751)
Clear dark brown beer, small beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: chloride, sourish, weird and soapy, some cleaning product, caramel. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: mocha, dark chocolate, bit sourish, coffee, cocoa powder. Aftertaste: pretty sour, coffee, sugary touch, overripe fruits, bit dirty, burnt toast. Probably aged it for too long. Have to admit, I didn't check the alcohol % on this one, and just assumed it was a 10% imperial stout. My bad.

Bottle at Bruce’s, thanks to Colin. It pours very dark brown with a small light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, meatiness, toasted sesame, honeysuckle, salted caramel and light soy sauce. The taste is roasted malt, toast, earth, coffee, cocoa, dark fruit, meatiness, light tang and a touch of alcohol with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit meaty.... drinkable enough mind you.
