Ready for dessert?🍨 We know you are. Strap in tight for this one because it is going to blow. your. mind. Four years Dessert is a freeze distilled imperial stout with a whopping 18% alc/vol. After the freeze distilling we've loaded the beer up with a fair amount of cacao nibs to get a chocolaty heaven beer. 🍫🍫

Pours a black, nearly headless thick liquid. Scent is roasty, some coffee. Not as intense or outspoken as i expected. Taste is full, roasty, some soy, intense alcohol obviously, but it could be far worse i suppose. However, the beer doesnt benefit from it, bit of an extremety for attentiok rather than quality. Mild simingly spicy finish, burny from alcohol or acutally some peppers? Nothing to much out of the ordinary besides that. Thick, coffee, roasty, purr chocolate, and fairly sweet. Low carbo.

Black, little bit of light brown head. Smells strong, fairly sweet, some licorice, roast. Body is sticky, not super thick, but very hot. Taste is pretty bitter, lots of licorice, dark chocolate, and most of all: alcohol. Unbalanced, but not terrible.

Can split at the optimal climatic conditions tasting, Hazlemere, thanks to Kenny 11/08/21. Black with a tan cap that escapes edgewards. Nose is chocolate, dark malts, roasted notes, fruit cake, booze. Taste comprises chocolate, caramel, light spice, coffee, toffee, molasses, fruit rinds. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a rising blast of alcohol. Decent enough impy but expected more ... lacks depth for a big 18% bastard.

Tasting at Chez Cloin. Thanks to me. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, viscous, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Rich dark chocolate malts, dark chocolate liqueur, dark chocolate vodka. Some ripe fruits. Lots of spice on the finish. Drinkable but quite spicy. Perhaps not unexpected.
