Taste: Sweet pie crust and rich caramelised sugars join with flavours of fresh vanilla cream, coating the mouth before lashings of sweet baked lemon zest roll across the tongue. Rich dark fruits mingle with a pleasant biscuity malt character, and a creamy baked graham cracker-oat finish lingers, inviting you to just one more slice.
Appearance: Dark black with a brown head.
Nose: Freshly baked graham crackers and baked lemon come enticingly from the glass, with sweet toasted malt and freshly brewed coffee joining in, transporting you to your favourite bakery.

Bottled 330ml (from brewery shop) Dark brown colour, small beige head. Intensive perfumic aroma of coconut, vanilla and lime candy. Medium to full-bodied. Flavour is also very perfumic: lemon zest and vanilla are evident, is a bit like coconut flavour. Some alcohol kick. Chocolate cake. Of course quite sweet and somehow restless. Not much beery elements but ok diabetes stout.

Pours black. Scent is robust, sweet, dark malts, chocolate. Cheesecake, I get that, but could blindly be fooled for a creamy, red fruit scenario as well, somehow. Marzepin ( light) notes. Taste is full, roasty, sweet, sharp edge in the aroma ( similar to the one described at the scent). Medium full to full body, medium low to low Carbo. Decent, but not my personal preference perhaps.

0.33 l bottle from Spicy Days, Zagreb. Shared with Marko. Dark brown to black, small beige head. Very aromatic. Fruity. Strawberry. Cherry, blackberry, vanilla. Cottage cheese with lemon peel. Chocolate underneath. Sweet, oversweet, strong, some tartness, berries, strawberry, roasty. Smooth, medium body, quite drinkable, warming finish. Slightly boozy in the aftertaste.

Bottle, thanks Hrabren! Very dark brown body, off white head, tiny. Enormous aroma, the vanilla and malty notes, maybe the zest create something that's more like coconut than anything. Sweet taste, with the lemon zest bringing freshness to a simple, slightly nutty sweet body. The zest is the best part of this, making it quite drinkable, and I can't say I don't like it, I just don't feel drawn to it. Imperial Porter Radler ffs. Still, very nice.

bottle from mikkeller shop. pitch dark, brown head. aroma is wood, vanilla, coconut, citrus, bakery, browncake, cedar wood, sweet nuts. cocktail bar, very pleasant and very desserty aroma. flavor is vanilla, chocolate, coconut, faint lemon, frosted brown cake, cigar box wood. I am not very fond of dessert stouts and dessert porters but this one is very well done and it all fits together somehow. The beer equivalent to a frosted brown cake, with a bite of cheescake on the side.
