Bottle at home. 20th October 13. Very enjoyable impy. Lots of tobacco, some ash, liquorice, a little bitter chocolate. Good stuff, but prefer the barrel aged editions

Jet black. No gas, silky smooth and a little oily. Aromas of burnt rubber. Very bitter and a little alcoholic. Warming from the alcohol. Finish is dry and bitter.

Bottle at Bruce’s, thanks to Leighton. It pours near black with a small tan head. The nose is roasty, milk chocolate, caramel, vanilla and toasted coconut. The taste is bitter-sweet, roasted malt, toast, mild acidity, rich chocolate, dark fruit, plum, date, light medicinal notes and earth with a dry, roasty finish. Fullish body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Rich and tasty imperial stout.

Bottle at Bruce’s - London. I picked this up...somewhere, maybe Belgium. Pours deep,red-brown with a moderate, frothy khaki head. Nose of dark malts, dark chocolate, modest roast, some dark cherries. Medium to big sweet flavor, light char, dark fruits, hints of smoked meat, mild bittersweet cocoa. Light bitter earth to finish, some alcohol warmth, more bittersweet chocolate. Quite nice overall. Pretty well balanced.

God lukt av krydder, karamell, mye lakris og kaffe. Sort farge, ingen skum. God sittende smak av lakris, sjokolade og kaffe. Nydelig dessert drikk.

Emelisse is one of the best Dutch breweries. This is one of their finest, a complex and tasty IRS. You should also try their white label’s, for which this IRS is the basis.

Dobry nawet bardzo dobry Imperial Stout w stylu Rosyjskim. Spora ciemno brazowa piana. Pelny aromat czarny kolor i w smaku jak na gatunek przystalo. Bogata struktura slodowa, Slodych z gozkoscia wymieszana rownomiernie. Finisz wytrawny i dlugi. Posmak sliwek suszonych i daktyli a wszystko jakby podlane rumem i porto. Alkochol spory ale swietnie ukryty. Wielkie piwo, polecam
