Flarra Imp Stout jämförelse med PQ. Doftar åhhh bourbon, choklad, lite kaffe. Bra start. I munnen då? Jo bra balans mellan bourbon sötma och viss torrhet av kaffe och exakt 79% ig choklad. Såååååå jävla god. Åh jo jämförelse Imp stouten inga fulöl där men de inte i närheten av denna . Tycker du inte om god lyxig bourbon Ja köp då inte denna öl. Ge ölen istället till en som heter Patrik Nilsson känd öl expert som uppskattar redig kvalite.

Deep, pitch black coloured body with a very thin, but noticeable tan head that barely registers a centimetre tall. Aroma of super pungent roasted malt, nuts, earth, toffee, caramelised sugars, star anise and even a pungent amount of the bourbon and vanilla from the aging process. Full-bodied; Strong rich roasted malt with vanilla, alcohol, toffee, earth, grain and oak all front and Centre, but the big flavours stem from the vanilla, roasted/burnt malt notes and especially the chocolate flavours toward the end. Aftertaste shows the longest and most complex set of tastes with some star anise, a big hit of hazelnuts and grainy flavours, but the chocolate, peanuts, vanilla, oak and the bourbon flavours are the strongest. Overall, a very nice Imperial Stout with a ton of flavours, showing the good vanilla and oak notes that you'd expect, but goes down fairly easily considering all the malt and the bourbon flavours that show up immediately after having a sip. I sampled thisimple nine ounce pour on draught at the Heretic Brew Pub in Fairfield, California on 14-March-2019 for US$6,00 sampled while visiting Northern California!
